Thursday was yet another gorgeous, but rainless, day. After getting home, changing clothes, giving out cat treats, etc., I had to first water all the container gardens. In one of the hanging baskets, the wave petunias have been doing poorly for a while now. Today, I gave up on them and cut them out, leaving just the asparagus fern. Check out the photos and you'll see what I mean.
Now, its Thursday, but with no rain there's no real reason to cut the grass... except for around the raised bed garden. Since I water that often, the surrounding grass is lush and tall. So, I got out the weedwacker and the 100-foot extension cord and got to work.
Tammy, my next door neighbor came over to the fence and we chatted a while. I teased her about their loud party Sunday night and she was so embarrassed, I felt bad. She apologized profusely and assured me that she, herself, had gone to bed and tried to sleep at 10:30 PM. I let her off the hook and said I was kidding; that having a loud party once in 6 years was no big deal.
Bask inside the garage, putting the line trimmer away; I noticed one tire looked a little low on the car. So, I hooked up the air compressor and checked and filled them all as needed.
I ate the last of the chicken for dinner and watched TV until bedtime.
Why in the hell don't you buy a gas-powered line trimmer?
ReplyDeleteWell, there are several reasons, Anon. I used them exclusively when I lived on the farm on Palms Road. But, they are heavy, stinky, noisy, and usually difficult to start as they age. And, if they break, it costs more to fix them than it does to buy a new one.
ReplyDeleteThe electric ones are quiet and light, always seem to work and the only downside is the cord.
If you really got sick of it I'm sure they have battery powered trimmers.
