In case you are wondering what I wear when I do my yard work, here's my yard work attire:
Rubber boots so they can easily be cleaned of dirt and grass:
I bought these several years ago before rain boots were all the rage and there were lots of styles. I think I got these online from Walmart and this was the cutest style they had.
I wear two layers of gloves. First are some latex gloves. These ensures that my hands stay clean inside the thick leather gloves I wear over top.
That way if I need to rush into the house or tend to the Babes, I can just take of the gloves and my hands are totally clean.
Sometimes the Babes helps out, but most of my yard work happens while she's napping.
OK, I really thought I'd have this flower bed project completed by now. However, my project has come to a halt for a few days since this happened to the tire of our wheel barrel:
Yeah, it's totally flat. I pumped it up and tried to use it but it quickly went flat again. The tube inside it is busted. I don't know how to fix that or what kind of tube to buy so I had to wait on Kevin to fix it. He finally found the time to work on it this weekend, he just patched the tube. So I should be able to finish the flower beds this week. And I'll do the big reveal with a before and after of each of the 11, yes 11 flower beds/areas. It's taken me nearly a month to get this project done but the yard is looking so much better. I just hope I can maintain it.
Because I've already been seeing these:
Can you see what's starting to pop up?
And some more are over here too:
But these weeds have a protector:
So you can say I am getting tired of this project even before it's completed. It seems like it will be never ending but as long as I commit to doing a little each day or week, I should be able to maintain it.
Anyone else almost near the end of a big project, or a project that took way longer than expected?
