Best time of year

Not living up to all of my responsibilities, but the low maintenance plants keep going.

Deforestation

I made a pass along the front street and pulled and cut oak trees and chasmathium. Found poison ivy on Paul's side of stone steps. Can't spray right now because it starting raining.

Exhausted

I did some stuff this weekend, stuff that really needed doing, but I feel I'm farther than ever from having the place fixed up.

Basically, I cleaned up the front yard, and FINALLY mowed it. I'm not sure if I ever mowed it last year even once. I raked, and I pulled myrtle out, and I cut off the tops of an entire oak forest.

The reason I feel like I'm farther than ever is the ivy and myrtle have run rampant and so have my aggressive natives. I feel the front is looking worse than ever. There is so much still to do.

I also hand-pulled weeds in the back lawn, and Clara helped me mow it.

The only thing I planted was ginger by the dutchman's pipe-vine. I bought some stuff at farmers market, but it's not planted yet. Neither is most of the stuff from Behnkes last week (or was it two weeks ago?).

Further behind and sinking fast.

It stays cool out.
