The yard had it's first "hair cut"

and boy was that a job! Considering that it was 100 degrees on Saturday and 104 yesterday I had to mow the yard in increments. It took me 2 days but I have it done!!

Yesterday, I was so HOT that I sprayed myself down with the hose in between mowing sessions. It was a great idea but five minutes later I ran out of gas. So, I had to change into dry clothes and go to the gas station. After I got home with the gas I decided that it was too hot to finish the yard so I would wash the Aztec. It started to rain on me but I was able to clean up the space ship just in time. It is now sitting on the base “lemon lot” with a big FOR SALE sign in it’s window. Hopefully we can sell it!!!
At around 9pm it cooled down enough for me to attempt to mow the yard again. One hour later I FINISHED!!! Talk about a sense of accomplishment!! I was so happy to be done with the yard that I wanted to do cartwheels!! But… it was too dark and late. My luck I would fall and break something. Maybe I will do them today. Wait. Will that hurt the baby? Maybe I won’t. I will just do cartwheels inside (myself).

Girl! Quit being so damn hyper and take to the couch or bed like the pregnant lady you are!!!!! Wait...maybe that was just my motto. Sorry 'bout that!

I did cartwheels and Bo turned out ok. However, I am still having trouble with my middle split (but that is besides the point). So glad you had a ceremonial first mow. Sorry it was so damn hot, though. Yuck!
