Wish I Could Smile Like This When Doing Yard Work!!!

I am terrible at yard work and I don't enjoy it. We now live in a community where we aren't allowed to have grass. Hmm, maybe I will write a post about that. We have woods and forests all around us and they want the neighborhoods quiet, so no grass is allowed and now mowers. That's nice and keeps everything quiet so we can enjoy nature.

I workd a couple of hours in th garden this morning. Tomorrow I mow the lawn.

I think I will enjoy gardening since it will be a pleasure to have the harvest

We have a big yard. Full of flowerbeds, bushes, roses, flowers that light up, etc. Before my sister brought this house the previous owner had done some beautiful landscaping. She worked from sun up to sun down beautifying the place. So when my sister bought the home, she promised the previous owner that she would keep it up. she added many flowerbeds made of stones and everything that beautifies a yard. Thank God for my husband. He also is a landscaper. He keeps the yard up on a consistent basis. He told our yard man that all he had to do was cut the grass and he would do everything else. Shape the bushes, trim, pull the weeds, and anything else to keep the yard beautified. People come from all over just to see our yard. One day I asked my husband how does he feel about having to do such a huge yard? He looked at me and said, When I am doing my yard it doesn't feel like work. Not like when I am actually at work. He works for the military. He told me working in the yard clears his mind, and makes him feel at ease. He also said when he is at work he is closed in. Being outside in the yard he is free. I was amazed and very appreciative.

Love gardening but becoming harder and harder for me to do unfortunately

I live in an apartment now but I used to enjoy working in my yard and garden.

I can’t imagine having to do it myself. It seems like so much work, and with the summer months it makes it even more difficult.

I can imagine how frustrating it can be when yard work seems to be overwhelming and never-ending. It's important to take breaks and not push oneself too hard. Perhaps reaching out to friends or neighbors for help or looking for affordable professional yard services can be options. It's important to prioritize one's physical and mental health over completing yard work.

I don't have a yard But my grand mother had it. I remember when she asked me to swipe all the leaves in the ground at that yard, feels like forever to do that chore

When I was a kid and still lazy, hehehe. I hate working on our front yard. The stubborn grass or weed kept coming back after removing it from its roots.

I love yardwork---pay my fare and I'll do it for nothing!!!

Enjoy planting, watering and harvesting. It "gives my life meaning."

I don't enjoy doing it also but someone has to do it.

I don't smile like that either, especially with sweat running down my face and back!

Aw.... you should consider relocating to India. Such help is cheap...but you should shift along with a few friends...otherwise, you would feel lonely. You would also need medical insurances...International coverage...wait for four years and then come here. Seems too much of a hassle I suppose.

If its a hobby I will do it with a smile and if it's work and I am dependent on it, maybe then I won't smile while working in the yard.

Where are you ..missed you and hope you had a good Christmas xo

Nope i don't smile when doing yard work, specially when its hot.

If you do not enjoy it maybe you can get someone to do it for you. I like doing yard work.

Do you have a big yard?
