yes, yard work on a rainy monday

At least the weather pattern has shifted the rain away from Sunday, right?
 
That allowed me to get the back yard partly mowed yesterday after the VOICE concert.
I meant to finish today before the rain started, but it came in the morning.
 

That's fine, there were plenty of little trees to trim!
That corner of the deck had a full growth again, as did the bird bath.
Then there is that far corner, between my house and the Sullivan's.
Smitty had put some "growth be gone" on the stumps of that removed oak, as well as the mimosa tree.
That had worked for maybe six months, that's all.
Seriously.

By the time I was feeling whupped, that corner was clean, as was the area by the bath for wandering, and local, birds.
Little oak, mimosa trunks trying to leaf, dead lanata... all gone.
All were tossed over the fence to the front yard, then dragged to the curb for Wednesday.
 

The deck flora will have to wait for another time.
My arms look like they've been scratched by a cat, but that's not true.
It was the thorny threads, the blackberry brambles, and sticker vines that damaged me.
No, I was not wearing gloves or long sleeves.
My bad.

Now, time to repeat the vegetable-laden meal from last night!
That's the last of the asparagus and the broccoli.
 

I used another yellow carrot and a lot of squash for an omelet at breakfast.
Topped with a slice of cheddar, that was a nice treat!
Yes, I am so fortunate to have that largesse of prepped veggies bestowed upon me!
The next time I shop for groceries, I should get frozen, chopped, veggies.
Yes, that's a good idea!
Now, I'm going to watch "Hancock", as Peacock has it free for me.
It's been a while since I've seen this 2008 flick with Will Smith as a superhero with an attitude problem, and with Jason Bateman as the ad man trying to change his image.
(smile!)
