Yard Work

When we first bought our house I always said that I would never take over the job of mowing the lawn. Then one day, as Patrick was so busy with work, I mowed the lawn and discovered that I really enjoyed doing it. Now, I mow the lawn all of the time and I love the visible change that takes place between the start and finish of the job. Today I mowed the backyard (hence the picture) or rather part of the backyard as right now a lot of the yard is taken up with our garden project. The one downside that I have discovered to yard work is how long it takes and the fact that it is never-ending. There are so many things that we want to do, but I feel like I spend all of my time just trying to keep up on the basic maintenance. For example, the time that I would like to spend planting flowers, is instead used for pulling weeds. The other frustrating thing is that, being seven months pregnant, there are a lot of things that I cannot do, and the things that I can do, tire me out a lot faster than normal. At least I can still have the satisfaction of getting somethings done.
