Somehow in all the hustle and bustle of school, I missed that the weather has really turned and that my front yard was being reclaimed by jungle. There were weeds growing tall enough to look me in the eye as I mowed them down. As it turns out there's a version of a dandy lion with spines - wicked.
So, today I mowed. It's not perfect. There are a lot of woody stalks already springing back up that I'm going to have to go back with clippers or a shovel and get them tomorrow. The boxes are a mess that I'll have to deal with later. I've also started digging out the front bed and putting in border. The clay is so packed that I had to pull the mattock out to start breaking it up. Even so I only got about a quarter of the way along the length of it.
I'm exhausted now. I suppose that this is not a shock, especially since I'm still recovering from strep, but it felt good to start putting things in order.
