OH SPRING! I JUST COULD NOT WAIT FOR THE FIRST SIGN OF THE GROWING SEASON. I FAITHFULLY CONDITIONED MY SOIL. I FERTILIZED LIKE A PRO. I WEEDED, SHEARED, MOWED, PRUNED, DUG, MULCHED AND TRULY ENJOYED THE TASKS. HOME DEPOT WAS THE PLACE TO BE FOR ME. SHOULD I BUY GAS OR ELECTRIC YARD TOOLS? WHAT KIND OF PLANTS WOULD DO WELL IN MY YARD? I WAS SO INTO IT. I COULD SPEND ALL DAY IN MY YARD...AND THE BENEFIT IS THAT IT IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL. THAT WAS THEN...THIS IS NOW...
THE TEMPERATURES IN CLEVELAND HAVE BEEN IN THE UPPER 90'S FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS SUMMER. THE HEAT IS INTOLERABLE. I ABSOLUTELY HATE GOING OUTSIDE! I CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL THIS CRAP I PLANTED TO DIE SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO TEND TO IT ANYMORE. THE GROWING SEASON HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL THIS YEAR. GRASS GROWS SO FAST THAT I SHOULD INVEST IN A GAS CARD JUST FOR MY LAWN MOWER!
AND LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THE INSECTS. I HAVE SO MANY BITES AND STINGS THAT I SHOULD HAVE INVESTED IN THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCES OFF, WHICH BTW...I THINK ATTRACTS BUGS. AT ANY RATE...THE YARD AND THE GARDENING TASKS THAT ONCE PRODUCED SUCH EXCITEMENT FOR ME...NOW FILL ME WITH DREAD. EVERYTHING GROWS SO FAST, AND I AM THE ONE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY WHO HAS TO TEND TO THEM. HEAT STROKE...DEHYDATION...SUNBURN...OH YES...SUMMER, SUMMER WONDERFUL SUMMER.
I HATE MY YARD AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO CHANGE!
