Today I did some mowing. My sinuses were shot anyway so what the heck. We were winning the long grass contest on our street. Most people on this street have lawn services that mow and weed-whack year-round. Not us. My yard man is on his way home from Santa Fe tonight.
I also whacked some of the azaleas so the gas meter is now visible.
I got the troops to clean the live oak leaves and catkins off the driveway, wash down the carport. The troops will come home from the movie with more girls to sleepover, so the enlarged troop can drag my pruned azalea branches to the street for Monday pickup.
I didn't get the whole back yard done; just the part visible from the patio. It's not as long there anyway.
After mowing, I can just sit and smell the perfume from the citrus orchard. Each kind of tree is sweet, and just a little different.
And.. the honeybees are starting to show up after going missing for about two years. Still not as many as I saw in 2005 but it's good to see the ones that are here.
My amaryllis is blooming too. I have three flower shoots with two big flowers each.
