give the man even a small sledgehammer and he thinks he is a destruction derby. Of course I had got it started by taking off the siding on the bottom but couldn't reach the top ones. Sledge hammers are such fun things. Dad went out today and took out the shed, literally. He took the sledge hammer and knocked out the upper siding and then pushed what was left over.
The shed is no more.
It wont be missed, it was pretty ugly and we now have a nice shady spot. It needs a little work but has potential to be a nice spot of fix up.
Dad salvaged some of the wood and the tin roofing and I burned the rest. I absolutely love to burn.
Man, I wish there was a use for poison ivy. Mine is back with a vengence. None one day and gobs the next. Drat. Me and roundup are on it. I do think yards double in size though. I got most of it sprayed except the woods behind the house to the right. I ran out of roundup. The good news is it hasn't come back where I sprayed before. So I am making progress.
Did I tell you I hate rose bushes. I still have several wild ones and they grab and scratch and grow by leaps and bounds. I hate rose bushes.
I have one flower bed to the right of the porch ready to put in bushes and flowers. Hurray. One down and two to go. My goal is to get flower beds across the front and end of the house and the island area between the house and the driveway. That will be the extent that my energy and budget can handle this year.
Boy, now I gotta paint that awful pinkish shed.
Well enough for now. I have bored everyone enough.

Men do love destruction, don't they? I look forward to seeing what all you do with your flower beds, and hopefully we'll get to help since we are starting our gardening club. Yeah!
Yardwork is neverending, in fact, I think the list grows by leaps and bounds... along with the poison ivy and other weeds! :)
