Don't you find yard work fun? It's one of the big things about my seven years as a home owner that I'm missing already, after only eight days back in NYC. The chance to be outdoors, with the birds singing all around you, fascinating insect life, even the annoying kind, or the kind where you stick your arm into a nest of yellowjackets, but the fresh smelling air, shaping the hedges with the shears, bird watching, seeing your yard look as neat and clean as everyone else's, tended to, well maintained, you don't like all that stuff?
Methinks Sgt. DevilDog might have to give elidog the "talking to," hee, hee, heee!!!
