It was beautiful yesterday so I thought I would go out and do some yardwork. I love looking at the flowers and greenery in the yard during the summer but I am not one to actually 'putz' in the dirt. Perhaps my flowers would look better if I did so but that is 'not my thing'. So many other yards and gardens look so much better. However, I still like the few flowers that do actually survive (in spite of me) in my little corner of the world.
Having said that, it was sad to have to pull out and cut down the flowers that have died or are in the process of dying due to the frost and the change in temperatures overnight. The other thing too is that I don't want to be doing this when it is minus 5 or with snow on the ground. Best to do it when the sun has some warmth to it and I can enjoy the yardwork.
I guess it is because of all the moisture we have had this past summer that we continually get all these mushrooms in our front lawn. Not the back, just the front. No explanation for it. I wish I had taken a picture of it now, but I did not. The mushrooms range in size from just about the grass line to about 4 inches in height. They were actually in a straight line across the yard looking like sentinals standing watch. In a strange way, they were cute! Yesterday, however, they were cut down! pulled up! dug out! Removed. I guess now it is ME who has to stand WATCH!
1 Cor 16:13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men (women) of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. (parenthesis mine).
