The Farmer in the Dell...
Man, its only 12:30 and we've been working for HOURS...We both got up before sunrise and started working in the yard...remember, the weeds grew 8ft tall from the 50 days of rain we had...so, I took down most of them with the weedwhacker and let them dry out, but they needed to be raked, and all the 'real' plants needed to be trimmed and made pretty again...we spent 3-4 hours in the heat (and shade, thankfully) and we just went to town...Brian took the part of the garden that was closer to the large outdoor fan, so he could work in relative comfort, and I grabbed large loppers and started taking down lemons and mystic spires and firecracker plants and dead heading roses...
the wild grapevine that has grown over our cable and tv wires has been cut and left to wilt in the heat...its looking most awful, so soon we'll be able to remove it entirely...I spotted a gigantic orb weaver spider way up high on the grapevine and she's just gorgeous...and huge..glad she's way up high!
So, after we both got showers and cleaned up we took off to a local diner for breakfast...and now its only 12:30 and we have the rest of the day to do stuff...I think I'm gonna stay in, tho, I'm sucking down ice water like a sponge and I've had enough heat for the day...I think I need to do some laundry, actually...exciting, I know, but it needs to be done...
I am gonna get back to work tomorrow, you prob won't hear from me while I work in the yard, then work at the torch...so figure you'll see new stuff this week cause I'm in the mood to burn things...I'm listening to the audio book "The Lovely Bones" and its really interesting...Peter Jackson is making it into a movie...
