"The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.” ~ Julia Child
No time for a steak tonight, nor do we have time to worry about eating diet food. There is a landscaping project that needs some serious attention.
Last weekend we started a landscaping project that was perhaps a little over zealous for one day. We had three flower beds we wanted to rip out and start over from scratch. We ripped out plants and mulch and proceeded to replace the plants with shrubs and rose bushes and replace the mulch with rock. It was an exhausting, muscle aching, hot and sweaty job. We finished the first two flower beds in the front of the house but we didn't complete the rose garden in the back of the house.
With a busy weekend ahead of us, there will be little to no time to finish the rose garden. So tonight it is! The digging is done, the plants are in the ground and it is time to lay down the rest of the rock. I sure hope this manual labor leads to at least a pound or two of weight loss. We might be at this until dark but it will be worth every drop of sweat and calorie burned once the project is complete.
