As soon as I got home from work I changed clothes and got to work.  I wound string in the weed whacker and started on cutting down the grass and weeds that were too high for my mower.  Here you can see what I was dealing with.  The reason how it got so high was I first ran out of gas so by the time I got gas and returned to mowing a week later this area was getting out of hand.  It took another week of drying out before I tried again to mow.  I did get more of it mowed then the mower got clogged up and stopped.  I couldn't get the mower restarted so a couple more days passed and the weeds got taller.
After close to two hours, the area was cleared off.  It was 73 degrees, but I still was sweating.  I was surprised it took me as long as it did and how tired I was.  I was feeling it this morning!
While I was at it I did the area next to the house that can't be mowed.  It was pretty wild too!  Here is the before and after
I also washed sheets and checked the air in my tires.  After that I was beat!  This morning I had about a half hour so I started cutting and interfacing t-shirts for a quilt.  These t-shirts belong to a cousin of my nephew's.  I have known Sammy since he was a baby.  He graduated from high school two years ago.  I told him I would make him a t-shirt quilt and now that I have been given the shirts I can make the quilt!  There are a lot of shirts too!

Something has changed with blogger.  I use to get comments in my email and then I would open those emails and tell it to publish them.  It was easy to reply to someone, but now I don't get them in the email; comments just show up on my blog and I have to go there to tell them to be published.  
I appreciate everyone's comments on the appliqued table cover.  I was happy the way it turned out.
