Fruits of my labor…

A couple weeks ago, I shared with you all some of my non-motorcycle exploits around the ole homestead, so I thought I’d show you some of the fruits of my labor.

My yardI finished extending the accent lighting to up-light the transformed yew shrub. Those 40 bags of “Classic Black” mulch didn’t go very far and eventually turned into 80 bags now. Oh, my aching back!

FlowersA dozen flats of flowers didn’t come anywhere near filling up all the pots and planting beds, so another couple dozen flats have almost finished the project.

The only problem with all this now is all those new plants are pretty thirsty and need regular attention. To make matters worse, pesky little weeds are now popping up competing for all that good stuff I mixed into the soil.

I’m not sure the new visual serenity of this landscaping endeavor is going to mix well with the stable of sport bikes getting dusty in the garage lately.

Lonely bikesToday started out pretty nice, but it looks like some weather is moving in this afternoon. The Tuesday night Bike Night at the south side Cheese Burger in Paradise may get rained out tonight, leaving yet another day of dust collecting on the bikes in the garage. Maybe I won’t have to water all the new plants tonight and spend some time dusting off all the toys.

I’ll see you all next week at www.redbullindianapolisgp.com
