Progress

I made a lot of progress on the plan yesterday, some of it sideways as usual. I forgot to mow the lawn Friday, so I had to do that after I hauled off the debris pile. Then I whacked down the jungle and hosed it with Roundup. Here's before and after....



Of course, you can't see that the area around the corner of the house to the left, off screen is just as bad and will require just as much work. Next on the list....

I played with the camera a little this morning. The camera has a panorama feature that shows an image of the previous photo next to your next photo, so you can line up a series of photos to take a panorama. The software then lets you automagically stitch the photos together with a few clicks. Voila, the view from my backyard!



Daddy like new camera.

After my yard work yesterday, I just had time to shower and get a summer haircut before we all went to see Pirates of the Caribbean. Internally consistent, not the ending you'd expect. The special effects guys mostly did a great job, though the end of Cutler Beckett just didn't do it for me. I think I know what they wanted, but they didn't even come close, possibly because it wasn't safely possible....

Hopefully, I'll get some of the Enfilade pictures scanned today. Maybe a bit more yardwork.

Do you need positive reinforcement for doing the yard work? Happy to provide it. :D

Well, one of my presumptions is the primary reader of my blog will be my mom. But it should also be noted that some of this is crowing about how much I can do now that my shoulder only hurts when I work it and not whenever I move it....
