Friday Yard Work

 Get turning soil


I went out to the front to see a walker that comes by at a certain time to have a cigar. To talk about books were reading.  The dogs like to see each other. Dixie she tells everybody she is interested in meeting. Giving a Yelp here and there for excitement.

I get digging.

Will get the seeds going. Notice some garlic coming up and dug around it ☺️. Even some lettuce 🥬 is coming up.  I don't know if it'll survive this last snow storm.  The dirt got turned and some leafs got dug in also raked up some leaves and put in a bin.  

 While I'm in the back the wind is blowing and diet is getting in my face.  I am working feeling very good this Friday.  Usually I don't get this much done.

Usually up to my head in anxiety.

After the years the deer took care of the cedar.  Took everything from the bottom off.  All the time I'd look at it and discuss with my brother that we'd trim it up like his house.

I started think I'd better just do the job. I pull out my sawzall and saw and some clippers and clean up.  The bottom under the bush I had the biggest clean up.  It was loaded with twigs and a wasp nest.  Stuff all the way through.  I get cleaning up and some wasp move some didn't.

The stuff on the ground under the tree filled my bin.

Looks way better now.

The deer 🦌 won't get it anymore.





Now to do the back yard cedar.  It's out of control too. And my brother said he'd help me work on it.  The other day my dad came over and we did the raspberry bush.

Lots of jobs to keep this house 🏘️ going.

I'm hopeful I might get help to run it to the waste.  But I might rent a trailer and take it myself.  Start looking at these jobs and asking for help and it would be stated it will happen.

Just decided to do it myself.

Gives a person anxiety not working on a yard and it not getting attend to.  This will be a nice change.  Here's a video of the deer 🦌.

As I got doing this my neighbor started weed whacking his cedar to shape it.  I thought that be a good idea to get a round look on the top.



You can see the bush had better days.



This is a before photo 🙂

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
