Around 10 am I took my old school small boombox (rofl) on the front porch, plugged it into the outside outlet, popped in a CD and listened to some music (not loud enough to bother the neighbors) while hand trimming the shrubs and leafy bu*hes in the front of the house.
Sure, I coulda got it down faster with my hedge trimmer but it wouldn't have been as 'organic' and relaxing. I cut the front grass - honestly I just evened out the front grass. It didn't grow much, some areas had more 'whiskers' than the others.
The backyard grew a little more so I will cut the grass and then get the privacy fence slatting that I bought months ago installed. I need to wrap up my head as the last time I was in the area to clear foilage for this project, the pine trees sapped in my hair, lol. I also need to find a ratty tee shirt that I can throw out when the work is done.
It's been my experience, there is no getting tree sap out of a t-shirt.
I'll have the boombox out back right by me and this will make the work enjoyable. I won't be whistling while I work, I'll probably be singing.
Bird Mama, We love music so we take our old radio/cassette player out to the hot tub. You are so right about pine sap. I love pine trees & we had them at our old house. I remember trying to get it off my hands after cutting pine boughs at Christmas time.
