Yes, I've tackled a tree. I can handle the grass (although does anyone know how to string a weed-whip?), and now I am tackling the landscape. I know it probably doesn't sound all that impressive, but I am proud to say that I've ripped out weeds, planted flowers and kept the yard looking, well, acceptable. It's another example of a learning experience from this deployment. God bless my mom for never forcing me to do yard work. Now that I'm on my own in a sense I have no choice than to keep the yard up. While some days it can be a pain -the random weeds popping up here and there drive me crazy - overall it's been a... fulfilling project to watch the flowers grow. It's a project I started and will only succeed if I continue to take care of each flower. I still have some work to do in the back, but slowly but surely everything is coming together.
Keep your fingers crossed everything continues to grow and looks beautiful for when Drew returns.
Next stop... the kitchen.

i had no doubt!!! :-) i bet your yard looks fabulous. i think JR can help you with the weed whacker re-stringing. he has done that twice now. i think you have to buy a new spool of string from Lowes or Home Depot and then you can call us and we will help you along the process. just call and we'll be here.
