Sunday Sunday

I know Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, but right now it's the only day I can get out and work in the yard before it gets too hot, so out into the yard I went.  Today's project was to get the privet 


and the poison ivy cleared from the canna lilies on Mrs. Newman's side of the fence. 


 I've been doing this once or twice a year ever since they had to put her into a care facility a couple of years ago, but this year, I kind of let the stuff get away from me. 

If you know me at all, then you’ll know how sensitive I am to poison ivy, so the first thing I had to do was to come up with a makeshift hazmat suit. And that’s exactly what I did.  I recorded a vlog for it, but for some reason, YouTube isn't giving me the embed link, so if you're so inclined, you can watch it here:  Putting On My Hazmat Suit.

I also tried uploading it directly to Blogger but they said the file was too big.  I don't know what's going on.  I've never had any trouble doing any of this before.  Yes, I tried different browsers, and I disabled my ad blockers, too.  Oh, well...That and the Clean Yard video were going to be the bulk of this post.  

I apologize that you have to click through because I'm such a Boom-A-Ludd.  

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled content.  I was a bit appalled at how poor my posture is in that first video.  I guess it comes from bending over my brazing stand all day.  I'll have to make a conscious effort to stand up straighter.  

I'd gotten out early this morning before it got too hot, but the humidity was so doggone high, I ended up drenched with sweat anyway, so I decided to forgo mowing and come inside to take a shower.   Once I'd showered, I wasn't going to go back outside and get sweaty again, so I spent the rest of the day mostly watching TV.  

So, there's not much else to talk about today.  I'll catch up with you later.

  1. The long plastic gloves are a really good idea!

    I wonder if the reason you were having a problem with linking the videos is because they were "unlisted"? I had my own problems with youtube this weekend ...

    I do NOT blame you for not wanting to get all sweaty again. The humidity has been icky up here, too.

  2. I don't think them being Unlisted is the problem, because I've done it before. But I'll change the setting and try again.

  3. Dealing with Youtube can be sometimes frustrating.
