Yardwork, part II
My intention this morning was to do much more than mow the lawn. All I ended up doing besides the lawn, however, was to prune the forsythia bushes and tear out a bunch of vines and weeds around the trees and the shrubs next to the stairs.
The hedges are light green with new growth. All the new leaves came this season. It wouldn't have made sense to cut the hedges this spring.
The laryngitis has turned into something that stuffs up my head and causes shortness of breath, the occasional cough. Inhaling clouds of dust and grass clippings probably didn't help. At least we don't have poison ivy over here. The worst I do in the yard is nettles and sunburn on my shoulders and neck if I stay out there long enough.
