I really enjoy that picture of my shoes and the snow. Maybe I should call that picture cold rose toes. I have been trying to work in the yard and have completed a few garden projects. We still do not have all the machines up and running and that is frustrating. The tiller, two mowers, and the weedeater are down and out. The large mower has been fixed and I had my first mow of the season yesterday. While I am waiting for the machine repairman to complete all repairs, I have been taking up the bricks in the patio and digging out roots. It will be a very long project I am sure.
We will really miss having all the guys living here this summer. They all payed rent by keeping the yard mowed and lifting heavy boxes. The boxes full of Christmas decorations are still sitting on the garage floor and the grass is tall. We want to put in a very large veg garden this year. We know it will be harder and harder to garden as we get older so we want to get it right this year. The guys will have to help with the tiller and hauling away all of the grass. It is too big a job for the two of us. It will be rough, but the reward will be great. I will relocat any useable sod to the front yard to stop the erosion. Our yard has changed from a lovely green lawn to a moss, clover, and crabgrass patch. Paul and I raked and raked the moss in the front yard and have replanted grass. We hope it grows. I want to create an 80 year old's yard. One that is easy to mow, when I am 80.
The blueberry bushes are in full bloom and full of bees. Yummmm blueberries....

80 year olds hire people to mow their yard, or they move to a condominium..
