I ache, but the cats are happy

I ache, but the cats are happy

I spent much of the day in the garden. I've mowed the lawn. After I was
finished doing that, I stood back and surveyed my work and discovered I'd mowed
a mouse... YUK. Then I attacked the undergrowth on the banks of the stream
which had changed from undergrowth to overgrowth rather quickly. I've spent
hours out with the shears trimming it down, but leaving it longer than the
lawn, so there's shade for the frogs etc. The cats *love* this and have been
following me and rooting about in the long cut grass watching and pouncing on
anything, everything and nothing that pops up. Chasing spiders that have been
disturbed is a favourite of all three cats. I severely pruned a buddleia (a bit
late but it needed doing) that was doing a good impersonation of a Californian
Redwood and Nathan carted away the large prunings. Francis thought this to be
great fun and was chasing after Nathan and pouncing on the small branches that
dragged along the ground. That cat is highly silly.

I now officially ache and have no grip left in my hands from the tight grip of
shears... I am developing muscles in my arms ;-)

Now the evening is drawing in and I've seen the first bats out this year! They
fly around the stream picking off insects. They are very cute. Cats are in and
I'm off to soak my weary muscles in a warm bath filled with bubbles.

I once mowed over an already dead squirrel. Poor thing. Probably hit on
the road. I feel you pain of yardwork, though! I finished up a new garden
with retaining walls blocks, planted a gorgeous Weigela and NG impatiens,
another hydrangia, a toad lily, day lilies, and mowed the lawn, too. I
felt that retaining wall garden this morning, that's for sure! I've been
amazed at this roll-out garden I planted a few weeks ago. I wanted
something easy to grow, something to really fill in the area and it is
growing! Lots of weeds and trees in there, though. I'll have to sort out
what belongs there and what doesn't later.

I highly recommend a soak with epsom salts for sore muscles. I have some
stuff called "Tired Old Ass Soak" which does wonders and smells good, too

Sounds like a great time was had by all! Things are finally drying out here
so perhaps tomorrow Persia and I will sit outside, she in her "walk" and me
on the patio swing. Gee, I should be job hunting or something. No, wait,
my guy told me give myself some serious time off and not worry about
anything. Hmmmm
