Heinous Hiatus

"Don't you ever work?" was a comment that I got yesterday, and seemingly so.  This year hasn't been off to a flying start due to the weather... and I've already talked a bit about my frustration level so far.  Last year I lucked out and had better weather... and my first stretch of work was 13 twelve-hour days in a row... that's how little rain we had.  Since I don't have 'weekends' in the sense that everyone else does... if it's not raining, I'm working no matter what day it is.  The 75 yards of mulch that I have to order, haul in wheelbarrows around the property and spread equals about 70 hours of work, and that's with a helper.  Then there's the 600 annuals I have to plant after that.  Beyond that, I have 6 or 7 projects like walls and decks to build and other clean up projects, etc. that will put me well into working every nice day until the middle of June.  Rest assured, I have plenty to do... just no good weather to do it in.


Tomorrow is supposed to be a good day... so I will start with the first mulching.  In the meantime, I continue to do a few bids (for another large client), consider taking a bartending job to help a friend out, sort out my taxes, clean and take care of other things that I won't have time to do when I get underway.
