Trouble is, it's easier for me to keep things picked up in the house than it is for me to persuade Mother Nature to stop making the trees and shrubs grow! At least we have desert landscaping, so this doesn't have to be done very often (unlike housework, cooking, or laundry-- blech)!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-68520218016163750402012-08-26T23:16:36.871-07:002012-08-26T23:16:36.871-07:00Yardwork, again I can't imagine it.

(I'm paraphrasing a quote by Bernie Rhodenbarr in one of Lawrence Block's books; Bernie was referring to "jogging.")<br /><br />I would much prefer to read or read great blogs like this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-57992024650870258892012-08-26T22:52:15.027-07:002012-08-26T22:52:15.027-07:00Well, the only reason why the urge ever strikes is...Well, the only reason why the urge ever strikes is because something is in dire need of doing.... ;-)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-8738465857551338952012-08-26T22:51:25.725-07:002012-08-26T22:51:25.725-07:00I'm realistic about the weather over there.
