Holy moly. I spent a good three and a half hours outside pulling weeds out of my back yard - which consists of 40% weed (dandelions and thistles, mostly), 50% moss and 10% crabgrass or some other hard-to-get-rid-of yuck. And it's not that I care that much ... except, as I said before, that kind of terrain is hard to mow. Coworker's nephew supposed to assist me with the mowing, then I was going to "overgrow" the wildflowers in the back. Reconsidering that, since it's so mossy. I don't think it's shade causing the moss; I just live in Moss Central. Pretty sure I just started an unwinnable war, though the people across the street have mostly-grass lawns, so someone other than me might be able to make it work. LOL. Long story short (too late): those handy weed puller things are awesome. However, it's incredibly hard to find the center of a patch of thistle so huge it could be its own nation. I have a feeling I put in a lot of sweat and won't get much equity from it.

And I'm only half done.

I also covered the raised garden bed with garbage bags, which is overrun with grass - not sure if it actually was a garden box, but I hope to change that. Once I see if that actually works to kill the grass, I'll do the same around the trees; gonna mulch a wide circle around each, hopefully. Eventually, will replace most of the existing front landscape with rock mulch. Biggest thing for me is remembering that I do not have to hurry, despite wanting to get it done and into something more me and more manageable.

Anyway, not that anyone really cares, I'm just totally exhausted now. And since I spent all day outside in yard, now I have to muster up the energy to do my weekly clean inside. Eh ... there's always tomorrow, at least before I head out there to finish the weeding.
