I’m still “on vacation”, but I thought I’d pop in and fill you in on what we’ve been doing.
Yesterday I got up quickly (an attempt to beat some of the Texas heat) and headed out the door to begin taming my wild lawn. We’ve had lots of rain recently and so things were going Amazon out there. My ever gracious parents also came out and we got the lawn mowed and trimmed. I also managed to trim a few of my poplar trees that needed attention.
Sad subject, those poplar trees…one has died and now the two next to it both appear to be on their way out. It would be a real blow to lose all 14, but we’ll see. Certainly, they will provide great opportunities for exercise – cutting them down and digging out the roots. :D
After the workout the roses and crapemyrtle were accessible again, so I clipped a few blooms for sketching.
