the mess we call our yard...

the limbs are hanging so low we can't even get to the swing...
one of the front beds...but typical throughout the yard...everything is so big now...we have 2 1/2 more months of growth time...
this is the size these should be at the end of summer...
it's time to thin out and cut back...
the grass is full of clover and needs mowed again...
unfinished projects just waiting for the sun to come out...and things to dry out..
this is going to look so good painted white...
and we need to get the left over blocks worked into projects...
and the weeds are everywhere...
the driveway and walk...
we are burning the picnic table...it was free...
but really in bad shape...
Jesse and Craig are going to start in on this in the morning...
with all the rain...most of the weeds should pull easy by hand...
we will spray the rest...
if it doesn't rain and wash it all off...
the mosquitoes are going to be terrible this year...
and we got more rain late afternoon and it's still raining...
but we are supposed to be clear for 3 days...
I wish I could get a do over...
but we have been really blessed with the last few summers and have really been able to get out and enjoy most of it...Illinois weather goes in cycles and we have been due for a nasty summer...so here it is...maybe fall will be better...

You sound like me! Here in Michigan we are having the same weather. As soon as it stops raining, I race out and try to get some little thing done and then it is back inside! one would think that my house is perfectly cleaned. one would be wrong! LOL that bench/glider is going to be beautiful painted white!
