There\u2019s yet more to do!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been doing a lot of chores. Yesterday I insulated the pipes in the basement. This after having a plumber in to replace a valve that was threatening to inundate the basement.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d already dug up and replaced every single sprinkler head in the back yard. Not because they were all broken mind you, the easy way would have been to repair the risers that were broken and leave it be.<\/p>\n

Not Mr. overachiever here. OH Nooooo!<\/p>\n

The dogs play in the back yard. Believe me two 80 pound Goldens can cause a lot of damage if they\u2019re into a wrestling match.  All the existing sprinkler heads were sitting ducks. So I replaced the old \u201cfixed\u201d heads with nice Pop-ups that are buried flush in the ground. The dogs can roll right over \u2018em and not cause a problem.<\/p>\n

Then while I\u2019m at the hardware store. I see a bunch of very nice plants. I think wow those would look nice in my yard D\u2019OH! Digging any kind of hole here is hard labor. I\u2019ve seen guys in their front yards using picks and shovels and I\u2019ve heard of folks using fractional sticks of dynamite to plant a sapling.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been wanting to add more plants in the back yard for a while. Along my North fence line I have blackberries On the East fence I\u2019m going to be planting raspberries, on the west fence will be grapes. And to top it off, I\u2019m putting an apple tree back there too. This will take digging 8 holes\u2026 Awww shit!<\/p>\n

Wonder if I know anyone with dynamite?<\/p>\n

Well, when its done and the plants have grown a bit It will nook nice.<\/p>\n

The next project is the front yard.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking at hot tubs that would fit in a spot next to the deck\u2026<\/p>\n

It never ends\u2026..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
