mother of invention...woot woot!

Ok...So awesome that you bring this up. 2 days ago I tried to mow my lawn with my icky gas powered lawn mower...as soon as I started it, gas started SPEWING out from the tank in all directions. Guess the mower has seen the end of it's days here, no way I'm gonna repair it! So I spoke with my hardcore friend Della who always has the tools I need. She was awesome enough to bring over a push mower for me to try to do the yard with. Gawd, I shoulda had Anne out there with a camera! No way I was going to mow my half acre thigh high grass patch with a handy dandy little push mower! So back to Della I go. Wonderful woman that she is, she lends me her weed whacker. I spent ALL day yesterday on the front lawn...but it's cut. I went through all of Della's cutting string...but it's already replaced. The next morning my arms feel weak as a babies and I can't straighten them, but I will be out there finishing my lawn today :) The job needs to be done. Last night to make myself feel better I drank some beer  and planted Alyssum on the fallen willow tree in the back yard. I don't know what we have going today...I think making more pest repellent will be in the mix somewhere.
