Hello to you! I’m hoping you’re having an awesome Saturday wherever you are! If you are by me (Prairie Village, Kansas)… it’s so beautiful out! The sun is shining, and it’s 64 degrees! Right now I took a little break from being outside because I wanted to write this. Also, because my allergies are INSANE and I need a few minutes to sneeze at least 20 times and let that medicine kick in!
SO, before all shenanigans happened, Jake did all of the yard work. I might have been out there reading, sun tanning, or simply doing nothing. Until today! Exclamation mark might have not been needed because I’m really not sure if that is something to be proud of. (Eek) Anyways, today was the day that I decided to help out (He probably didn’t need or want my help, but… wife mode. OR quarantine mode, whichever. ) I’m bored, I have nothing better to do, I am looking for health for my mind, and I have nowhere to go… so why the heck not?! Also, it’s pretty fun and funny to be working on tasks with the hubs. I asked Jake what I can help with. The answer will hopefully make you laugh like I did when he said it. “Pick up sticks from our front yard.” Um, okay? (yes, those two words may have been said out loud or in my own mind.) I got out of my PJ’s, ready to go. I picked up actually a LOT of sticks. I wish I had the picture to show you just how many sticks I did pick up. It filled a whole trash can. The one that you take out once a week for garbage workers to dispose of. We live somewhere where we have huge trees in back and in the front so with that being said, there was a lot of work to be done. Big bonus, tonight we’ll use those sticks for a bonfire in our backyard. WHOOP!
My next job consisted of using an air blower to blow the grass. Yes you did read correctly! Apparently, it’s good to do for fertilizing, and it helps for grass seed reasons. That, or Jake just made up some job for me to do?! I did that for quite a while and it actually was fun and I used my arm muscles- Workout, DONE. It’s amazing what I find fun these days… I’m sure you could agree with that statement! If you find fun in ANYTHING that involves you being home, yes, yes, and yes.
Little fun fact. We took a break to take our doggies out for a stroll. We went into a different neighborhood and crossed Nall. If you don’t know that street, it’s busy. I want to mention, I RAN across with two dogs that are under 15 pounds. Jake casually walked with a dog that is at least 70 pounds. Speed limit is 35 and cars were coming. I YIYI. We’re alive. It’s okay, and we are moving on.
Closing it up because well, I’m going back to work (yard work). I can tell you it takes your mind off of EVERYTHING. It’s so nice to be in the sun, to be working on something that requires your brain, body, and to be outside of your house. When it’s all said and done, and when we’re past all of this, and your yard looks AMAZING… you can look back. Even smile when you know that during that time, one of the worst times, YOU made lemonade out of lemons.
I hope that you are healthy, safe, and if possible at home. – and doing yard work 😉
All the love,
Abby
