Labor Day, a day of labor

Three day weekends are a great thing...even if you end up doing work the whole time. I spent Saturday doing house clean up for the co-op in which I live. We do this once a semester and it basically involves cleaning everything. I spent all day doing yard work. Mowing the lawn after it has rained all summer is a bit daunting. We have one of the old school push mowers, and I basically had to go over every bit twice. I have successfully learned how to fix a weedwhacker. And there aren't any weeds in the flower beds. It was a nice change of pace from the usual grind...and of course the yard looks great :)
