Spring today... oh so nice. Until, that is, I decided to do yard clean up.
Here's what I learned today. If one rakes better in the fall one's job is easier come the spring. What did I think... the leaves were just going to disintegrate over the winter? Turns out they don't :( In my defense, my old house didn't really require any raking. I had one tree out the front and that was pretty much it. Spring clean up consisted of poo pick up day then I was done and ready to garden. WHAT a difference this yard is. First of all it's twice as wide. Secondly it's surrounded by trees, many trees, lots of trees. I'm going to blame the half assed job I did on raking last fall on the fact that I was super out of shape, low energy and didn't have it in me. (my inherent laziness notwithstanding)
Today was a different story. I was out there all afternoon raking, playing with Mr. V... just having a grand time. My arms and hammies are telling me tonight that it was actually exercise but I feel GREAT. I imagine the small coma during Masters coverage helps with this overall feeling of well being :)
Very excited for the food show tomorrow... should be wicked fun!
