Taking A Break From Outside

I have been in and out today as I am working at
cutting down some overgrown bushes.
Not an easy task but I love doing this sort of things.
It makes me feel so good to be outside.
But the weather is pretty hot so I have to come in to cool off
every so often, I just had an ice cream bar and will go back out
again in a few more minutes.
See you later

If you get tired of playing in your yard, you could come here and play in mine.

@marlina The yard at this house is easily twice the size of the yard at the old house. I'm not always sure I have the energy to take care of this one properly.

@DaddyEvil For me, it is the other way around, this lot is a lot smaller than the huge one we had before,

I did some yard work early this morning and a little while ago I hung out the kitchen towels to dry, it's too hot to be outside for long right now so I'm waiting for sundown. It's 10 after 4pm and 102f here, it should go down to about 95f at sundown.

We know a lady who does this for her mother. There's so much overgrowth, it intertwines and creates a wall, almost like the jungle!

@kobesbuddy , I am usually taking better care of the bushes, but since I can't do as much as I used to, it takes me forever,

@marlina Each spring they deal with her mother's yard, it's like a wall of solid brier bushes!

@DocAndersen I understand, not all jobs are exciting even if they are outside

@marlina for me it depends on how crappy the job I am doing is!

That is one thing I am glad for since I moved--no yardwork. I do go outside a lot, though--running errands, walking the dog, going to the mail box (which is much farther away than it was at my house). At least I get a lot of walking in, though !
It wasn't too hot here today.

Nothing like a nice ice cream bar on a hot day! Good to know you enjoyed your time outside

I hate doing yard work such as gardening and raking leaves

I know what you mean! I planted a ton of nasturium seeds and it looks like the rain will take care of the watering that they need to get established. Here's hoping for some hot days for us too!!

Our weather is fairly chilly this week. I still need and want to work in my flower beds and one in making still but when I get back from even small jobs I don't look forward to all the wedding that's necessary.
