Today I had Staff! Staff is what my friend calls her children.
My oldest was home for the day and I was able to get him to help me take on some things I haven't had the strength to do myself. He says we accomplished much...I'm not so sure.
The problem with such projects is, they make you that much aware of the all of the other projects that you still have to do.
I had him dismantle an old storage shed his daddy had made for the kids to keep their bicycles in years ago. It had become too rotten over the years and was an eyesore. As soon as we took that down and began hauling it to the curb for bulk trash, parts of my fence began to fall down. Possibly, because the shed had apparently been holding them up. We tried to rehang two sections, and when we were finally making headway, I had another section come down. This one from a completely different area.
UGHH what a pain!
The new broken section is the victim of a police pursuit through my yard a few months ago. Apparently the bad guy felt the need to jump my fence to get away from the police; thus breaking the support post in the process. Leaving me yet another project.
Anyway, all of this was to say, I wanted to make some real progress on clearing out the room we call the backyard, because we have decided to do a community garden, and I need to rearrange the furniture so we will have the room to do it.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
