Where I've been...

Right here, pretty much. Well - not so much in this chair... but home, for sure. I've been working in the yard, mostly... for a lot of reasons. First of all - there is a lot to be done. Second - sitting on my ass in front of the computer isn't doing me much good. Well, maybe it is right now because I need to stay awake long enough to finish my laundry...

A few weeks ago we finished the fence. Me and Shaun planted a li'l baby willow tree. I bought some hummingbird feeders and I plan to also put up some bird houses on my fence posts. It's the least I can do since I had to cut down some brush to expand my fence. We also dug a trench in my yard so the water would drain some and not stand - making my yard all swamp-like. I learned to cut grass today - I had really never once in my life done it before. I like it. I'm going to do it some more. 😀 I will not have a jungle-yard this year! 😁

Anyway, I'm sort of making earth-friendly plans to handle the water situation in my yard. I think I'm going to dam up one end and make a rain garden type thing happen. Better to have a nice little stream coming through with a small pond-ish area than a whole yard of SWAMP. I think it will be nice. Maybe I can get a little bridge since the stream will go right though the middle of half the yard. I guess I'll just have to see how it goes. But one thing is for sure: I'm tired of fighting the land. Apparently, water will come through so it's up to me to do something cool with it. That is what I think.

Seems like there's always work to be done, but at the moment I'm totally fine with it - it just doesn't leave a lot of time to sit around on the computer. I know I've not replied to quite a few messages, but I'm sure I'll get around to doing it soon. I've just been really busy and I'm really enjoying being out in the air with my soul-mutts running around and Shadow singing Linkin Park at the top of his lungs on the porch... I just feel more connected when I'm taking care of my place. It is good.
