I live alone. Four years ago I bought a half acre property in Kansas and moved from California. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. The yard was nothing but patchy grass… all mowed down. I’ve worked and continue to work on building an interesting yard with lots of separate spaces, my own private nature center.
Sometimes I get frustrated in not having someone to talk ideas over with. I manage to do the physical labor myself, am sometimes a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of it all, but am glad I can still do the work. But, for example, I have 50 new trees growing… some I bought and planted, most are a variety of volunteers. I’ve left all the volunteers to grow…. But there’s one in particular that I’m not sure I like its chosen spot. Now I have transplanted some and they survived, so maybe that’s what I’ll do with this one….And that’s the reason for my post! Anyone else in this boat, whether it’s about your yard or fixing things on the house yourself, or other things?
