Poor husband

What happens when your wife works really hard on a project at the house...

but doesn't complete it?

She leaves a nice pile of leaves for her husband to pick up when he gets back from out of town!

Our back yard was a forest when we moved in and we have done our best to "clean it up" a bit. However, there are so many trees and so many leaves, it is really hard to keep up with it all. Today I mowed the yard, blew and blew and blew and raked and raked and only made it half way through the back yard before I tired out. There is now a large pile of leaves that I have covered with a tarp so they will not blow away in the rain this week. At some point in the next week or so I'm hoping that Mark and I can work together to care for the rest of the back yard.

Yard work is definitely my least favorite part of owning a home. I love looking at a weedless, freshly mowed lawn but it is very hard work to get it to that point. One day when we are super rich, we will hire yard people for sure!
