Project Completed

I recently started and finished a day-long project at my midwestern home. It simply involved pulling weeds, mulching, planting mums, and generally sprucing up the lawn. It felt good to have accomplished the job.

There are many lovely things about living in New York, but I do miss having a lawn. Lawn work is the perfect activity for perking up your mood: you work hard, get dirty and see your results immediately. I haven't found an activity in New York that compares.
