There is going to be a hospital bed here tomorrow. Well…. One fraction of it will be there. There’s still more rearranging to do. Baby steps, right?

If you’re wondering why I’m miserable and feel like my soul has been crushed to dust, here’s a hint.


Tres delicious.
The lawn is done, but in the process I’ve somehow pissed off the mosquito population. Suckers are everywhere. Go pick on the squirrels, ya bastards.

Picking up where I left off yesterday, including the back pain. Ouch.

Pick up the tempo, teach, it’s gonna rain!

Dig that bad ass mallet playing step son of mine.

The whole front of the house has been mowed. Next is the side and then the back. Speaking of backs, mine hurts a lot. When I say a lot I mean a ton. When I say a ton I mean a mountain range sized hurt. I took some Tylenol an hour ago. Just imagine how much this would hurt without it. Yikes.
Slight subject change. What is this?

I often find garter snakes hanging out on the lawn mower when I bring it out. There was a little guy on it today, in fact. My first thought was this thing is a snake skin. Now I’m not sure. Now I think it’s some kind of coating that used to be on the pull starter’s rope.
Either way, it’s a backyard mystery.
