Wow! Working off line sort of works ok!

Now I'm really trying to use my laptop's software to write a blog entry while away from the internet. We'll see what happens.
Today is a stunningly beautiful day. Both in Houston and in Galveston. I'm surprised at how few people are out on the bike path across from the house I'm holding open right now.
This morning, I went out about 9 AM and started using the weed-eater to try and clean the yard's perimeter, around the trees and shrubs, and in those areas that the lawnmower really can't accomplish much. About and hour and a half was spent swinging the weedeater, trailing the very long extension cords behind me. I know it's made a difference, and I actually look forward to getting home and getting out the lawnmower to cut the large areas. Having two full city lots means more mowing than I've had to do since I was a child, and we mowed all the way down the street to the end of the property along the road, then along the fence, then inside the fence. Dad even had self propelled mowers in those days. I think he even bought a riding mower at one point. I hated mowing. I still pretty much loathe it, too. I don't know how I missed the mowing and gardening genes my folks had. But, then, maybe they weren't fond of the work, either. A neat yard and a productive garden seem to be worth the struggle. I know I am really that way about cleaning and laundry! It doesn't matter that I don't much care for it. I mean, I don't hate laundry....but I always have tons of stuff to do, and always seem to be doing stuff around the house. I never seem to get everything done and take time to sit down and so something else. There's always chores about the house. I may even sit down this evening in front of trash television and replace missing buttons on shirts and shorts. Those buttons have been needing replacement for months and months. Just one more thing that needs to be done.
Do you find your life like that? Always something needing to be done?
