Tools of the Day

How neglectful I have been over the past year

Closing off the doors and seldom venturing out into the yard

Though, as the weather has cooled a bit

Life seems to be renewing within me

Breathing is something I do more frequently

And with less effort

So today I journeyed out

With a mission in mind

Power tools of sorts were necessary for my mission

A blower vac

A Weed~eater/wacker/cutter :)

 And of course a Lawn Mower

Which was nearly my undoing

Son #1 showed up in the knick of time

To rescue his momma

Unbeknowst to said momma

Son #1 put the on/off toggle switch on backwards

Can you say: Duh!  I should have known

 A little 30 weight and I was off

Lawn was edged, yard was blown

Lawn was mowed and thatched

After a quick trip to Home Depot

I was able to rake and bag all the 'dead' lawn

 Followed by

The lawn being fertilized, seeded and watered 

 Now I need to remember to water, water, water

And pray, pray, pray that it grows, grows, grows

To be honest my husband never, ever planted winter grass

He hated the extra work

However after a year and a half of no lawn

I am ready for something green in my life

It all took only 5 hours

Quite honestly I enjoyed every minute

And then I rested awhile

Did a little house work, laundry, cleaning and I even managed to

Fix a homemade meal for son #2 and I

Yes, I would say I used a lot of tools today

And I feel Great

What about you

What did you accomplish today

Considering Life Worth Living,
