Gardening

by The Philosophical Fish

When we decided to sell our condo and move….one of the criteria was “postage stamp sized yard.”

That was a fail.

We ended up with a yard that, while not huge, does include some massive trees.

Postage stamp sized yards don’t need a 16 foot pole pruner….that ends up not being long enough.

I filled the back of the truck, two large green bins, and left a pile in the yard for next weekend’s dump run.

And I barely made a dent.

And everything hurts.

Why do we say “but it’s a good hurt”?

That’s stupid…hurt is hurt….

Oh well….it does look a bit better out there.

Now if we could just get the damned outside renovations finished we could actually put the yard back together again. It just looks like a disaster out there.

Ah…zipped out to the liquor store (you know…medication for the “hurts”) and got out of the truck to see a seagull warming his belly on the roof of an SUV. It was good for a laugh.
