VERY windy day! Leaves going everywhere! In spite of the blustery weather, I got quite a bit done yesterday. I got one of two large limbs of that mulberry tree down. However, no matter how hard I yanked, or twirled, or swung from it, that second one was going nowhere. So, I did what I am best at-ignored it and cleaned up the fence row. This is a total pain as it requires digging under the fence, clipping through the fence (trying not to cut the fence) and yanking vines out of the fence; all while sitting on my behind, hoping that I don't scootch into a pile of doggie doo that I somehow could not smell before I landed in it.
I picked up and bundled all the sticks and debris that were laying around and got them out front, ready for the next recycle pickup. I have one pile left, but it's not easy to bundle up, so, I will get the biobags for that the next time I am in the mood for expensive coffee from the local barista. Lets, see, what else..
Oh, yes, I got totally peeved at just staring at my Recon and hoofed it down to PepBoys and got myself a new 12 volt battery. Talk about relieved when the puppy started right up! Man, that thing increases my productivity 100 percent! I LOVE MY RECON!
Now all I have to do is get that stupid scooter to be inspected, but that's another story.
Oh, I got the grass cut on the top level and it looks sooo nice! I decided to whack all the ground cover down, now that most of the spruce trees are almost gone. Still have to cut the dead branches back, but that is a good cold weather thing and can wait.
I had two loads of mulch left in the trailer and used my trusty wagon and Recon to haul it up to the pergola and got one whole side mulched. Fiona was quite helpful keeping the newspaper I laid down first from blowing away by parking her big brindle butt on it. Amy was afraid of the Recon, so only came out when the 'noise monster' wasn't running.
next big job, boys and girls....Leaves.
