Lawn Love
After dropping way too much money at Ace Hardware stocking up on lawn care supplies, I attacked the yard.
The weed army took over in my traveling absence and got uber-aggressive.
Supplies: Grass shears, trowel to dig around weeds and stab at stubborn roots, branch snipper type thing for extremely thick weeds, towel to protect knees, garbage can, cell phone, and of course, pink gardening gloves.
Aren’t they pretty? Of course I bought the pink pair – anything to make the lawn battle more palatable.
Not too shabby. Still not a french tip lawn manicure, but drastically better than the small rainforest that was beginning to take over our yard.
And… I totally felled the lawn mullet!!!! It only took two hours, several arm muscles I didn’t know I had, and a ridiculous system of lowering the mower as far down the hill as I could reach (all the way along the slope), then pushing the mower from the bottom up (all the way along the slope)… but it worked. (And I probably provided a fairly amusing show to everyone driving by.) Take that mullet!

Sure, NOW you learn grass maintenance skills AFTER you leave Wisconsin. When are you coming back????
Looks great. Can’t wait to see you, Tally and the new sidewalk soon.
Just noticed…you have a neighborhood port-a-potty!! At least that should keep the city workers in the same area instead of running back downtown to the Starbucks for relief.
You are woman, hear you roar! go you! I’m way impressed…..if you can do that mullet, you can do anything!
Yay for yard work! I’m way jealous of your pink gloves! I’m having flashbacks to mowing my parents’ lawn on a riding lawnmower, but wearing a bikini to get a good tan. Do people still do that or was that a 80s/90s phenomena?
I’m sorry for laughing, but I love that there is a port-a-potty across the street. Hopefully that will all clear up for you soon. Love the gloves!
