This weekend, I got most everything done that I wanted. Not only did I finally catch up on my reading, but I changed the oil in my car, watered and mowed my lawns, and got the front plant beds cleared out an looking nice. There were lots of additional steps, too. For example, I had to sharpen my lawnmower blade before mowing, and my front beds had a lot of dead stuff in them that had to go into the compost pile.
The biggest thing I have to do now is to seed the thinner spots on my lawn and make sure they get watered regularly. There are a fair number of dandelions there, and I'd really like to have grass that's so thick that no weeds can grow. I've got a couple areas in back that are like that, but not in the front. Then, eventually, I'm going to have to do something about the area between the sidewalk and the busy street next to my house. It barely has any grass at all--just weeds. I keep the weeds mowed down, for now, but I'd like to get that part looking decent, too.
