I have been trying to post this blog for a week now and have been unable to get photos to download. I have been through all the 'helps' and quite frankly have concluded that they are amelioration BS. A few months ago, Google broke blogger. Their answer to frustrated bloggers who cant upload photos or get the buggy banner on their overview page that says 'browser unsupported' is to make the people seeking help jump through a whole lot of pointless hoops just to wind up back at the beginning with blogger still broken. The upside for Google is ....by the time you have jumped through all their fiery hoops and followed all their dead end rabbit trails......... ya just don't give a shit anymore and stop trying.... so they don't have to deal with you. I give up... they win.
I'm just gonna post what I have and be done with it.
When you are a backyard farmer, Valentines Day romance morphs into something strange and wonderful. Jimmy bought me a really good hedger because I had been complaining that cutting blackberries with my organic and quiet hand tools was just too hard on my poor recovering hands. The day before VD he came home with it in the trunk of the car and was worried that I wouldn't like it. He was afraid that I would have preferred flowers or candy or jewelry. Don't get me wrong...I love flowers, candy and jewelry but, I'm hard wired to love power tools as well.
We pulled it out started it up and fifteen minutes later the blackberries that were back and threatening to swallow our beautiful vegetable beds ...were gone. Ok... the roots still need to be dug out but, that's the easy part. I'm just grateful that it only took fifteen minutes to do, with the appropriate power tool, what it took me a month to do by hand when we first moved in.
15 minutes wasn't enough with my new toy so I also tackled some of the other overgrown areas in the yard. I whacked my way through the property for about an hour before deciding it was time to quit because I still had another hour left of cleaning up everything I had cut down.
Jimmy said I looked very sexy wielding a deadly power tool. He's so sweet and what a sweet valentines day thing to say!
