Beer....

Back Yard....2008.

Summertime....and the livin' is easy......after you rake your fingers to the bone and sweat like a hog and stick your shins on long pointy branches.

Husband and I took to the yard this afternoon like two people possessed.

He had taken Roundup or some such equivalent to most of the front "flower beds" last fall, hoping nothing would grow there but the lovely young lowbush trees. So, we raked the deadfall. Should anything grow there this year, it will only be by a miracle of God.

Oh, I shall have some flower pots and such but no more "Snow on the Mountain" ravaging the front and taking everything in its path hostage. NO MORE!!! When I went by the little "Scotts Pine" he thanked me for his ability to breathe this spring being that he wasn't surrounded and over-run by the snowy beast.

So, all of that pulling and raking and sweating and skinning took it's toll on both of us.

We sat down, rested our oversized, weary bodies, listened to the birds and shared a "Rikards White".....beer that is....Molson's. Brewed with honey and coriander. Goooood......after a hard days' work.

Perhaps in the very near future the yard will look once again like it did last year.....green. I'm countin' on it!
