One of the downsides to an early Spring is the quicker arrival of yard work. My wife wants me to convert much of our wildflower beds to grass, because I can’t keep up with the work anymore. Yet, the conversion is also an effort. I’m leaning towards having it professionally done. When I see landscapers out there toiling under the sun, lifting heavy things, getting dirty and sweating profusely, I wonder where to they get their energy. I’ve been taking care of yards since I was a boy. My father did zero yard work, but we had a nice yard because of me. Now, that I’m devoted to my writing, the yardwork is a drudgery that I avoid. I’ll be perusing through the yellow pages this weekend.
