Do I get credit for unboxing?

Woke up early this morning and decided to take the bull by the horns.  I needed to unbox the electric lawn mower I bought back in August 2016 so I could tackle the weeds.

To think that when I was a teenager I was in charge of assembling all the things that required it.  Now I absolutely hate it.

 

This is as far as I got...need to read the directions in order to put it together :(

In order to get it outside, I had to clean out the enclosed front porch which is like a junk room.  Put everything in the front yard as I swept and mopped.  All of a sudden I saw a black truck stop and look my way...that is when I realized that they thought I was having a garage sale, lol!

Took a lot of things to the shed/cats bedroom/ junk room when a second car stopped.  Have no idea why they would think I was having a garage sale when I had no sign and the front gate was closed. Oh well, at least it is good to know that if I ever had one at least there would be people interested in buying my junk.

It was a cool morning excellent weather for yard work.  I got my grass shears and started chopping at the weeds and tall grass.  I was outside for six hours.  I had huge piles of weeds I raked but by the end of the day they had deflated and did not look as impressive as earlier in the day.

One of the many piles

Yesterday, at blogger JO's urging made me some soup.  Had some chicken legs in the freezer so only had to buy a vegetable mix.

It actually tasted quite good and since it was rather cool outside it hit the spot.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
