Job number three done!

Here's my backyard after attacking it with the weed wacker of doom.



We really hadn't done much with it for about four years, so I was surprised by how quickly I got through it all. It's about ninety percent done; I broke the string of the wacker against a stump I missed seeing. I may dig out what stumps and big woody stems are there and continue next weekend. I'd like to get the area against the garage, and the little cubby back behind it, done.

I recommend Lee's Rent-It in Kenosha. Easy to deal with, and they have a big Black Lab who lives in the store. Pretty dog!

( Here's what it looked like before the mass deforestation (but with better lighting). )

I like the willow tree in my backyard; I've always loved willows. Plus, I love having a yard that backs up against the train tracks. On top of the fact that I just love trains, we have a yard with a lot more privacy than might typically be afforded in the 'burbs. I need to take care of it better; it's worth it to have a space there to go out to. Man does my wrist hurt after running that thing though.

My 'coonie-grrl offered to buy me dinner after seeing the yard. She is nice!
