So much for productivity!

Due to crummy weather and a tummy ache, I did not do the yard work today. I did tackle that dish mountain (some of it is still waiting as the first batch dries).
I did pay some bills and move my fishies home after their week vacation.
I'm adding some before pictures of the lawn so you get excited to see the after when it gets done.

Me & Trixie

Today my task is grass care. I will attempt to clear the weeds and flowers ALL OVER our lawn, mow the grass with our new lawn mower and then spread and water some grass seed.
How will I accomplish so much you ask? WELL, I have a dear friend named Trixie. We met recently and I have to say she is a life saver! Great at gardening, a wonderful listener, real sturdy, all around great gal. Now please, do not judge, my dear friend Trixie, well.... she's a hoe. Now I know what you're thinking, "Jenny, where have you been mingling?" But truthfully, Trixie was behind my house leaning up against the garage one day and I figured she could use a friend. So Trixie will be my right hand woman as I tackle the task of digging out weeds today. I have to say that I am really looking forward to the work. I had a lot of fun yesterday.
Before I can get to my gardening though, I must first deal with the MOUNTAIN of dishes in my kitchen. We had some friends over the other day and I have not cleaned up yet (Oops!)
I'll post proof of my gardening later today if I get the chance. Trixie the garden hoe might even end up in a photo or two if you're lucky.

Why Blog?

A wise friend once told me that she blogs as a way of being held accountable. I am going to attempt to do the same thing and hopefully give you a few laughs along the way!

Here we go

My husband and I recently moved into a new rental home and I have been looking so forward to getting it fixed up. One of our "responsibilities" as renters is to look after the yard.
Our lawn truthfully has less grass than other greenery (moss and weeds), so it is going to take ALOT of work.
I will try and keep you updated on what I get done as I spend the summer keeping busy.
Today consisted of cleaning out one of the flower beds and creating an edge.
As far as I'm concerned, I did a pretty good job! See the before and after pictures below.
