Yardwork and cookies

Are you disappointed that I am not showing more pouches? LOL!! I was sunny when I got home from work, and I decided I needed to start cutting down the ornamental grass out front.

After an hour and a half of work, I got the plants cut back halfway. They need to be trimmed close to ground level, but then the debris is really long and harder to handle if I try and cut the plants near ground level.

On the backside there was loads of the dried grass.

I just used my feet to kick the bulk of it into a pile and loaded it into the wheelbarrow to dump out back. No sense in getting the rake out yet. As long as the weather is in the 40's I will continue to cut these plants back until they are done.

After that, I sliced and baked the cookies I had made Monday evening. They are lemon shortbread. Will be taking these to work.

I got the recycling taken out to the curb too. Let's just say I was tired and it was all I could do to get the rest of my exercise minutes in on the stationary bike. This morning when I went out to take my little bag of trash, there was snow on the bin! I wasn't expecting that. Nothing was sticking on the ground. The snow started up again a little while ago and it is coming down pretty hard. It is supposed to stop in the next hour.

I will have to work on the pouches between the snow and rain. There are quite a few days of rain forecasted for the next 10 days.
