Spring

 

Yesterday, my wife and I got out our deck furniture that was stored in the crawl space beneath the house.  A rug, table & chairs, large umbrella, several smaller table, and  another chair that did not fold up that is better to sit in for those with back problems.  We left the chairs and table for the front porch for some reason that I chose not to inquire about.

Of course, as soon as we got it all set up, we heard the sound of thunder and not too much later, a downpour of rain that last the rest of the afternoon.

Spring is just around the corner but I can already see that my first task will be to weedeat before I mow.  Once I start the mowing process, I will be mowing once a week for the next seven months (April to October).

After the rain we should throw out some fertilizer and grass seed and see what happens.  Lots of times, the grass does better if you just let it the hell alone, but like most people who are obsessed with lawn care, you do what you need to do to have your grass the greenest on the block.

I am not that kind of person but my wife sorta is which means I am.

We trimmed up our bushes and trees last fall, so we do not need to do that this spring although there is a tree in the back yard that needs to be taken down...  that will need to be done by professionals.

While it is nice to have the warm days, obviously more work needs to be done which is not easy to adjust to after being lazy for the last five months.
