The goal was to be completely through the "to-do" list by tomorrow so that the property could go up for sale. I've had a few minor set-backs, and am not getting through it as quickly as I had hoped. But that's OK, I'm getting so close. I knocked out all of the back of the property today, personal record. All I have left is to go back to one of cleared areas and pick up some of the kind of bamboo like stinky weeds that were chopped. I don't want to leave that much on the path. I was surprised how dead many spots are with the lack of rain. I was even more surprised to find a beautiful little grassy spot that I love almost exactly as I remember it with no sign of stress from the lack of rain. This natural grass out here is the most amazing stuff. It never gets over about a foot high and can go long periods of time with no water. Of course there are very few areas with just woodlands grass. Most of it is vines and tough weeds and just growth.
Going to eat a bite and work on the inside. It sure would be niced to have some food magically appear on the counter about now. I think I;ll just sprinkle some soy sauce on some raw zipper peas and not heat up the house with cooking.
Anyway, I'm very excited and it's all starting to come together out there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it looks like sunlight, not a train.
Selling this place will mean the cash to start over and do it right this time! My ex-husband left me with a ton of debt and then trashed this property before I finally got him out of here. After a couple of years trying to un-do all the mess he did, I'm almost done with the whole thing. I will miss it though, it's so pretty now.
edit: whoops sorry, didn't mean to put this in the questions section of the forum.
