the summer whizzes past. yesterday i spent about five hours working out in the yard. i weeded for an hour and kevin had tilled up some of the grass to make an areain the fenced yard to plant hostas, so I spent time moving my paver bricks to create a new border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

then the hostas – ugh. i managed to transplant all of them from the side of the house, but i think i’m much less than halfway done. i’m hoping that kevin and i could try having him hand me each hosta over the fence, because yesterday i loaded a bunch of them in my little wagon and dragged it through the bedroom and out the back door. i did that a couple of times, and it was a whole lot of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and then there are the lilies…i pulled up a few of them yesterday because i figured it doesn’t matter because the deer have eaten off every single bud. there are so many lilies and there really isn’t a place for them yet in the fenced yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so i guess i’m feeling overwhelmed this morning. i have to give a massage soon so i don’t have to think about yard work right now, but maybe later?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

maybe i’ll wait til tomorrow. i’m tired and sore today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

on the bright side – amy, mom and i took a great boat ride last night. a cool breeze was blowing, a good time was had by all. we saw some kind of interesting bird that amy had never seen before; because jim knows all about birds, amy has also been learning. i tried taking a few pictures but they were all blurry. maybe it was some kind of heron, said amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i went running by the field on july 1st, and look how short the corn was…it’s always almost as tall as i am by the 4th of july, but it was only barely knee high in a few places, but mostly much shorter than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

because it had been too hot to do stuff outside, i spent a few days working on my music room. if you’ve ever seen it, it had many, many piles of detritus all over the floor. it’s finally much better, with only a couple of piles of picture and frames that i have to deal with. i still need to clean out and organize even more things, but at least it’s a start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

on the 4th i saw this funny little pontoon boat glide by. it was so tiny and there were at least about 10 people crammed inside, but the funniest thing was that they’d rigged a tarp over the roof. it rained part of the day, so maybe they wanted to be sure that they could stay out there no matter the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ok, must get off the couch now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
