Medium-Well to Well Done

Just a heads up... working/being outside for more than 6 hours straight can lead to sunburn even if the weather is cool. I guess I didn't realize that! I spent the good part of yesterday working in the yard. I know, don't have a heart attack. Me? Manual labor? Yeppers. And the bigger shocker is that I was up before noon on a Saturday. lol. I decided the knee high weeds and overgrown grass was more pressing than my need to oversleep. And I am SO glad I pushed myself out of bed and into the yard. Though I know have a red face and a wicked awesome farmer's tan, I love looking outside and seeing a well manicured yard. It's just the first step of many to get the yard where it needs to be. I hacked down the weeds, trimmed the lawn, and then swept up the aftermath into the garbage. Monday I plan on "watering" the weeds with poison. I've decided to start in small area to get the swing of things (I've never really done this before and it scares me). Once I have a system down, I'll expand to the rest of my garden of weeden. I don't think I'll actually get any real flowers planted this year, but I am hoping to get the beds prepped and a drip line run so I'll be ready for next spring. Until then, I'm gonna focus on my burn. I feel like an overcooked steak!
