I like to work outdoors

Filed under: Garden,General Living — Copa @ 3:39 pm

When my wife and I lived in New England, we ran a grounds keeping business together.  I loved that work!  I love to work outside and mow lawns, trim hedges, install fences, plant shrubs, clear brush and all of the other activities associated with working outdoors.  One of the reasons that I loved it so much was that I loved working with the different kinds of garden equipment.  I love my tractor, my back hoe, my loader, my zero turn mowers, my chain saw, my  skid steer attachments, and my weed trimmers.  I even have more than one post hole digger - I have three of them!  One for me, and one for each of my hired help!

After a long day’s work I even enjoyed cleaning off the tools and making sure that they were ready for the next job.  Somehow I feel like this is what I was born to do!  And that is one reason why I love living here where we moved; there are several acres of land waiting for me to tame!  When we moved here I sold off some of my equipment (like my loader) but I kept most of it.  I expect I’ll be using it here in my own back yard!
