Spent some time reviewing what I got accomplished this summer so far. Wow, considering that I worked through the summer, took some time off for a trip to Amsterdam, and had some down time too. I feel like I got a lot accomplished. I have about ten days off that I don't have to work and so I am going to hit it really hard. Still have a huge list of things to do, but I also have to remember that I got a lot done or it starts to feel dismal. I am going to work hard in the yard this week and then post pictures of what I have gotten done so far this summer. Dana took the garden shed and the awning out of the back yard.. wow, that is going to be a huge piece of the mess out of my way so I can move forward with my plans for continuing on with the yard.
Finally chipped through the pile of cuttings and made a ton of mulch. Spread it in the side garden, it really makes it look "finished". This has motivated me to trim and chip some of the shrubs that are looking shabby and making the yard look cluttered and small. Hard pruned the white lilac bush in the front yard. Going to chip those up and then prune some more. Borrowing the extension saw from the garden center so that I can cut back the dead parts of the maple tree. Not sure what happened, but it will look much nicer to clean that up. Yard is coming along and I am very satisfied with the progress I have made this year.
Applied for a job and interviewed last week, hoping I get called in for a second interview.. and better yet get the job... would be great to have a decent paying job so I can cut back on my hours at my second job and also spend a bit more money on the house/ garden once I get caught up on bills. Praying for something.
