Weekend Work in Pictures

September 3, 2006

So I am scurrying to make sure I have the yard looking good. My husband is coming home on leave very soon and it’s been WAAAYYY to hot and muggy to work outside OR it’s been raining. We have this "scheduled" rain thing at this time of year. The very MOMENT the last Daycare kid goes home it rains. Yes Southern Georgia it’s MY fault. I want to do yard work or vacuum the pool so it’s raining on YOU.

Anyway, the scope of work I had to face two weeks ago was fairly daunting but we are down to mere normal now except for the mushrooms. When it is very hot and very muggy and very rainy we get mushrooms…FIELDS of them. Of course this being Southern Georgia (the one wherein every freakin’ venomous spider known to man and two or more that nobody has seen before lives) we don’t do even the MUSHROOM thing without adding a little style to it. You have to be here to understand it. we have bugs that science is defied to describe and we do things LARGE here. Let me show you large…

Here’s a mushroom we found growing in my backyard this week. It was next to the wooden playset..

Oh I can do better than that! It doesn’t give you ANY idea how big that sucker was…how about THIS?

There’s Marty the Shroom and there’s a kid and his head…any questions?

I’ll be riding the mower today and carrying a big stick. Who knows what’s happened to the bugs…
