You Worked Your Ass Off Out There
The Second Time Out In the Yard In Two Weeks
The yard looks awesome
It is a nice start
When I go outside
It feels like time stops
I enjoy digging right in
So many leaves and sticks to pick up
A rock wall is in the front of my property
The leaves get all twisted and stuck
Deep in between many crevaces
Lots of people haul their leaves off to the dump
I have been grinding them up with my mower and trying to find a new use for them
In the past my town has recycled them
Turning them into a compost
That takes months even years
Last year I added my crushed up leaves to my lawn
Then I took more and added small amounts to my border plants
Thinking it would break down over the winter
I am not sure if it worked or not
I looked on line
I did not see any suggestions
Can you think of any other uses?
After five hours
Once again day light had retreated into the sky
Leaving me in darkness and just in time too
My body not as limber as it use to be
I took to Aleve to help with the aches
We had a mild winter
Last year at this time
The ground would still be covered with snow
