I cleaned the yard today - OH how good it is to say that. :p I've gotten old. A rake and some yard bags excite me, as did some gardening tools. :) I think I motivated the guy across the street, too - about 15 minutes after I started, he came out with his two little girls and they started cleaning their yard, too. Hurrah for clean yards!

The space in front of the porch was the worst - about a million bottlecaps and cigarette butts, as well as a casing from a firework (!), a million sticks from playing with their asshole dog, and some broken glass. I am so glad they are leaving in a month!

I got all the crappy dead leaves, garbage, and dead grass off the yard; now we can reseed the lawn. Gonna tackle the side yard sometime - it needs a lot of work, probably more than I can give it, but I can clean up some of it.

We're gonna reclaim the garage, too, when they leave - get some of the crap off the side yard and out of sight. This place might not look like a slum anymore - what a thought.

I'm putting in flowers this year. I have pretty rocks and my lantern out there for the moment...I'm going to plant batchelor buttons and nasturtiums in the beds. I might get some wildflower seed and go along the fenceline in the side yard with it - definetely planting something under my tree. :)


Gotta eat, gotta get ready to head up north. TTYL. :)

Heh..I just hit one of the markers of getting old too. Coffee is starting to taste good.

God help me! :P

One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
