Good Morning all, I'm taking a short break before I head back outside.  I was up early too and had some coffee while watching a couple of my oldie goldie tv shows.  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.
