Yesterday Percy came over in the afternoon and we tackled the yard. I put on some gloves and started to pull weeds from the flowerbeds while Percy worked on the lawn. We labored out there for three hours or so and I got about 1/3 of the way around the house. Nobody has pulled weeds here since May! Ridiculous right?! So there is plenty to do and I have even more to learn. I know my plants have some sort of illness and I need to figure out what’s happening with them so I can make my plants nice and healthy.
Moving past the weeds, the funniest part of the day was watching Percy push that lawnmower all around the giant lawn, dripping with sweat, and our sweet little neighbors get out their monster of a riding lawnmower and mow one of their lawns in less then five minutes. Once they finish they sit out on their front porch and watch Percy push his lawnmower. It really made me laugh. Later Doug, our neighbor, told Percy that he loves watching people work in their yard and that he thought we were doing a great job!
Today Percy is taking me to Avery Island. Casey I’ll buy you a little something from there. I guess Avery Island, LA is where all of the Tabasco Sauce in the world (?) is grown and made. I’m pretty excited for this field trip. But I’ll tell ya, tut tut, it looks like rain.
Enjoy your Friday! I’m certain I will…
