My Busy Week and Sunday Sign

I've been busier than a one armed paper hanger (as Cliff says sometimes).

I've not been visiting bloggers as much as I would like, but I'll catch up as soon as I can.

I took on the job of cleaning up our neighbor's back yard. This is the most physical labor that I have done in a long time. I am sore and tired and realize how out of shape I am. I have worked on it several days this week for a couple of hours at a time. It was full of tall thick weeds, vines, and saplings. There are also many trees in their back yard and I picked up a gazillion sticks and limbs and put them all in one huge pile in the middle of the back yard. There was also rocks that I picked up and put in piles. Then there was trash, mostly things that their dogs (and previous dogs) have carried off and chewed up and torn to bits. I must say it looks 100% better now, but it won't stay that way unless it's kept up. I used the mower on what I could and then I used the weed whacker on the rest, but that was after I had pulled up what big weeds I could and used my pruners on the ones that were tall as I am. When I first went out to start on it I thought I might have bit off more than I could chew, but I decided I needed a challenge and went for it. It's a good sized yard, but once I got started and begin to get some of it cleared - that gave me hope to push forward and keep going! I should have taken before and after pictures.

I did see two cute little frogs over there! I just love frogs! I haven't seen a frog here in a long time. The cats probably keep them all gone. They pounce on anything that moves around here!

Here is my church sign and many thanks to Sandy for sending it to me! I love those flowers under it!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week and having a fun summer!
