After dropping the baby off this morning I swung by ACE hardware again since last time I forgot to look for lawn mower belts and other things. The store didn’t carry belts big enough, the other items on my list were more sand to weigh down a shade canopy and a hose for a refrigerator ice maker. After the last sand debacle I layed a tarp in my trunk and told my wife of course it won’t make a mess this time, it was even worse as the store was sold out of sand bags. Thankfully I did get the hose I needed for the fridge, we’ve been waiting a long time for this part as I’ve been trying to figure out what the part we needed was exactly. Last night my wife was able to do some research and solve the question, I know there are gaps in how I learn and am eager for her to help with projects. Manual labor is no problem for me, but I read fairly slow making the research side of things take a long time. Once I was home I was able to connect the hose while boiling some water to make syrup for the bees. After that I needed to do mowing around the pool with the push mower and I made some walking paths to the woods and trampoline since it’s the best I can do. There are ant hill on the boarder of the pool grass and I finally got around to spraying them. Finally I used the head trimmers to clean up a couple areas, first was where a tree was removed earlier this year, the roots underground had sprouted branches in about a 30 foot area. Since I don’t want to risk driving the mower over the stump area I needed to clear that up, then I trimmed back bushes that were touching the house. Here’s a photo of a cute church I saw on the way to ACE.
