Today I had to do some yard work. It just had to get done. It is autumn, but in California that is often when the grass grows the best as it is a bit cooler.

Here you can see that my grass really needs to be mowed. You can also see that a bit of the neighbor’s yard also has some thick grass.

I decide that since it was my fault that the neighbor has grass growing in that part of his lawn that I should take responsibility and mow his yard as well. I mowed as far as my power cord reached. You can tell where the water from my sprinklers reaches when the wind is blowing.

I also did some work toward removing a tree in my side yard. It is no longer getting adequate water since the neighbor quit watering. Plus, the tree is not in a good place anyway and really doesn’t shade anything but the garage. I may share pictures of the removal process later.

My back yard was also overgrown just a bit. Also, you can see that I have a rose bush that is spread all over the place. I had a lot of work to do.

I also had to figure out what to do with this bush. It has slowly been taking over the area just outside my sliding glass door. I don’t use the door, but if I did I would barely be able to get out.

Needless to say, I filled up the yard waste bin. It is good that next week is yard waste pickup. I need to make sure I put it out on Monday night 🙂

My arms are sore tonight and I am tired.
