Sidetracked
Jun 30, 2010 by Naomi.
That’s one of my favorite paths. This morning I began by getting down an old paint cloth to put around the shrub so the trimmings would be easy to pick up. I keep my paint cloths on the top shelf in the back porch, excuse me, my sun room. But the top package was Dan’s yearbooks which I had to look over because I was curious about the representation of seniors of 1997 compared to mine of 1945 because I was editor of my high school yearbook. I found Tim’s fiction from his high school writing class. An original had a hand written critique in red ink that emphasized failings and accomplishments. There was another story that he eventually did in serial form on his website in the 1980’s. He got sidetracked too, because he now paints.

Enough
Jun 30, 2010 by Naomi.
That’s it. I quit. I couldn’t get all the weeds if I worked all night but I made some headway behind my car. I did accomplish one thing I set out to do and that was trim the arborvitae out front. They were getting shaggy and while I won’t have a lush green lawn I can have trim and shapely shrubs to look out upon my neighbors. My hedge trimmers are not heavy but the drag from the cuttings felt like a hundred pounds and stressed my right wrist soon enough. Trimming was the least of it. I had to get my eight food ladder from the shop to the front. It doesn’t weigh the 200 lbs it brags to support but it is not light either. I trim the tops of the shrubs even with my eaves. I don’t want them higher than my ladder will take me where they lay on the roof and become insect birthing grounds. Then back goes the ladder and a different fun. Rake the trimmings and get them into the yard waste bin. That wasn’t back breaking but took time and the cuttings filled my wheel barrow twice. The effort made me sweat. So I retreated to LazyBoy and reclined. My right hand and wrist to weak to take me into the exciting world wide web? May all the stars in the galaxy prevent such a catastrophe.
