Weed whacking with a bush trimmer. No, it isn't a new Beck song.

Yesterday, began the "nesting" process for Brandon's return home. The task included weeding the massive amounts of weeds in our backyard (our yard has never had grass and has not yet been landscaped)--I swear some were as big as saplings, the few in our front yard, picking up doggy poo, and trimming the jungle of bushes by our front door.

It was while I was trimming these bushes that I had the brilliant idea of using the electric bush trimmer to manage the ginormous weeds in our backyard, as I never learned (and never really wanted) to use the edger/weed whacker. It worked beautifully or at least, "good enough for government work" (as Brandon always says). It looks like the weed trees never existed. Now both our front yard and back "yard" are ready for mowing today. :oP

The "To-Do" list today, includes, going to Publix, mowing the lawn, dusting and vacuuming...yippee skippy!
