die weeds die

The war against the wildlife of the yard goes well. Sunday, Steph and Shiv helped out a lot with the rough battle plan I came up with:

1) hack down the foliage with the weed wacker to about 2-3 inches
2) rake up the remains
3) use lawnmower to establish a uniform length
4) rinse and repeat

About 75% of the yard is now cut to the point where you actually see the shape of the ground. The front yard lawn now even has purty lawnmower marks. So now all that remains is the left side of the house, which has some pretty crazy tree action. I spent all of today (Monday) hacking off branches with a hatchet and clippers.

I think tomorrow I'll be done with the yard work... yipee.

In other Greenwood news, Steph's cousin moved in today, which brings the number of girls crammed into that house to 5. Her "room" is the second living room near the front of the house... reminds me of my first year in Maplewood, living in the dining room. Of course, one could argue that I'm a low maintenance, whose personality is suited to getting by without all of the usual comforts of modern living - while most girls I know are high maintenance when it comes to having a place to sleep and hang their clothes. We'll see if how it works out... heh
