4. Well, the thing is...

I'll be almost 73 in a five years...

Believe it or not, that mulched area was a lot of work for me. Took me about a month just to get it ready to mulch!

The back yard is huge, and then there are bushes on the other side of the house that have to be maintained about every two weeks.

So every Spring, I go through the same thing...am I going to be able to do this stuff this year? And every year, it gets just a bit more difficult.

5 years ago though? I can and did do yardwork all day. It's amazing the changes your body goes through in 5 years.

Oh...had to get up on a ladder today. I went to mail a bill, and as I was backing out of the driveway, I saw the sun glistening off something on the roof. When I came home, I got up there and retrieved it. It was a folding razor blade knife. And now I'm freaked out, because it's not my knife, and there has been no one up on that roof for a few years! This is going to be bothering me...

Someone does mow the lawn for me...mainly because it takes me 2.5 hours to mow, and I'd rather pay the money to have it done.

Hope your day is good.
