The Plots Thicken - or - I Must Be Inasane

Just what I need.  Another yard to work in.  This is a house in our neighborhood - a rental that has been poorly maintained much to the dismay of us locals.  This house, which is now vacant, is in desperate need of rehabilitation after being subjected to the "If I don't water it, I don't  have to mow it" approach.  Now that I am an expert in rehabilitating burned out, weedy rental yards, I got T and M an extra lawn-mowing gig (fortunately just for the week) which, of course means that I got myself an extra yard job.

After speaking with the dissappointed property manager and negotiating the terms, I set the boys to work and wielded the weed-eater prior to the Herculean task of clearing out the flowerbeds.  Fortunately, I didn't have anything fun planned for my day off.  When I am completely burned out in another week or two, I will rename this blog to "The Plop" to describe what I am going to do for the rest of the Summer, which is just to plop down somewhere and not do any more yard work forever.  All future  blogs will be about work I've already done so far this year and from there, will chronicle how I let my yard(s) go completely. 

 Anyway, the block looks better.  The other neighbors are grateful for a change of scenery and so are we.  Hopefully, I can keep up with my yard (at my house - I mean where I live - not the other one - well that one too, Grrrr! - you know what I mean) so that my neighbors do not wish that I too would vacate the area.
