lot's o yard work

So I left work at 4 yesterday and headed home. When I got home, I changed, but on the headphones, headed outside and got to work.

I pulled out my trimmer and got several areas that needed trimming, cracks in the sidewalk, under the deck, and etc. I then got out the work gloves and pulled weeds. Lots and lots of weeds. Starting with the sides (where there are flowers) and working my way under the bushes in the front. Some of these weeds had quite annoying root structures that didn't want to come out. But eventually they did. I did decide that I do need a spade, cause, well, it's kinda hard to do some of this work without it. Then the lawn mowing.

I had most of the lawn mowed by the time Shannon got home, but I then sent her off to get me a gallon of gas for the lawn mower (I wasn't sure I'd make it). I did stop the mowing for a bit and sawed a couple of branches off a tree in my backyard (they were hanging so low it was almost impossible to mow under them). I didn't really need the gas, but it'll come in handy for the next few times.

Finally I swept grass clippings and etc off the driveway and sidewalks to go inside and be done.

I was done by about 7 and then went upstairs to take a shower.

3 hours. But because the weather was so nice it didn't seem so bad, I was tired though.

Now the only thing that I really need to do is trim the hedges, they're looking quite out of shape. But I think I want a hedge trimmer of some kind to do it. That way I can get the lines straight.
