Oh Happy Day, I did yard work today!!
I sooo wish I would have taken a before pic of both of these sections of my yard, but trust me when I say that they were in serious need of some attention. My hubby is fabulous at keeping the lawn under control, but being the detail gal that I am, I usually take care of the areas, well that require more detail. lol Overgrown is an understatement when describing these areas before I got a hold of them today. Last summer, the one time that I attempted yard work, I was got so dizzy, nauseated and weak that it took me a full 3 days to recover. Needless to say, I only did that once. So as you can imagine, I was slightly nervous, when I decided to take this on. Again I took it slow, and took lots of drink breaks because it was a bit warm out. Slowly but surely I was able to weed, clip, rake, move rock, and even battle the dog that likes to jump at the fence from the other side :) It took me about 5 hours with the help of my guys, and though I was a bit tired at the end, I was good! :) My muscles were tired but not sore, and I STILL had enough energy to carry me through the rest of the evening! Awwwwwwesome! :D I am so excited because not only am I feeling stronger all of the time, but I can now spend more time on my yard, doing and finishing things that have been neglected for way too long :) This is totally shaping up to be the best and most productive summer in, well, 7 years! Oh Happy Day!
