I’ve been joking with my wife about putting together a list of things we need to work on now that it’s somewhat/kinda Spring. Well, I’m putting it down in writing baby!
My first and probably most perilous quest of the Spring: whipping our small but out-of-control backyard into shape! It’s absolutely ridiculous how bad it’s gotten, especially in the last couple of weeks with all of the rain. The weeds are taking over the entire yard and it makes me cringe each day when I feed our dogs. But I will not let it get the best of me! I am master of my domain and will not be pushed around by vegetation! Here’s a list of our other Spring Quests:
1. Vege-ruination!* – defeat the weeds and overall ugliness of the backyard so as to not shame the entire neighborhood.
2. Attic of the Disorganization! – we shall enter and quell the rampant disorganization in the attic, making sure to use labeled plastic containers so we can actually find what we’re looking for in a reasonable amount of time.
3. In the Closet… - we have a fairly decent-sized closet that is full of old clothes (primarily mine) that need to find their way to Goodwill, then what’s left needs to be properly sorted so that I am not overwhelmed with despair each morning when I’m unable to find anything worthwhile to wear.
I’m sure there will be more amazing and dangerous quests to come, but this is a good starting point. I know we'll feel so much more at ease once these things are done!
* UPDATE: the weeds have been conquered! Hopefully the grass will now grow strong again due to copious fertilization. Also added weed-blocking fabric and pine straw to the planting areas.
