After work on Thursday, I spent 4 hours laying sod for the first time. (Bermuda grass, & the yard was partially sloped) Each patch of grass was delicate, much to my surprise, so we had to hold them with both hands. Lots of pieces crumbled, no matter how carefully we handled them, so we just tossed them off to the side to use for the smaller areas.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Oddly enough, I came home smiling & with pockets FULL of dirt. I woke up in the middle of the night because my wrists and hands ached so bad! I don't take ibuprofen a whole lot, but I took some as soon as I woke up. Even though it was an exhausting job, I enjoyed the experience. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Call me crazy, but I wouldn't mind doing it again someday.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;">We finished unloading 5 of these bad boys just as the sun fell out of the sky.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dYA2UNbvGrY/TDh_GTgshcI/AAAAAAAAAO0/GOouhFUsdbg/s1600/bermuda_sod_pallet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" rw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dYA2UNbvGrY/TDh_GTgshcI/AAAAAAAAAO0/GOouhFUsdbg/s400/bermuda_sod_pallet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6577729703049210137-2217536810616683720?l=artisinmyheart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Trish Schneidernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6577729703049210137.post-36433811600409848932010-07-06T17:59:00.000-07:002010-07-06T17:59:10.359-07:00The Scientist<span style="color: #cc0000;">If I had to choose <em>just one song</em>, to learn on <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">every instrument</span>,</span> it would be this one.</span><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object height="295" style="background-image: url(http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/jkMGf2_NKvs/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jkMGf2_NKvs&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jkMGf2_NKvs&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Scientist - Coldplay</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6577729703049210137-3643381160040984893?l=artisinmyheart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Trish Schneidernoreply@blogger.com0
