Spring projects

Have you started any spring projects of late?

I felt really depressed over the winter, it seemed one of those tiresome endless winters to me, where spring feels like it’s never going to come. But I feel brighter now seeing the sun again and the flowers starting to grow in the garden. I walk outside and everything is bright and alive again, that’s something for me to smile about.

My home has fallen in to a forgotten and abandoned state, inside and out, due to my own lack of motivation, can’t blame anybody else other than myself. Some days I just can’t muster up energy to do a lot. But since spring and the brighter weather I decided to get out in the fresh air and try to start some spring related outdoor projects…

So I decided to clear the garden up a bit!

My progress over this weekend, clearing fallen trees, and ivy off the stone wall.
Sadly the ivy has damaged the wall, some of the stone came off with the ivy, I will try to work out how to fix this. Today I want to cut the grass, if I can get the old mower to start up lol.

I got it from this….

 

To this!

Very pleased.

I’m looking forward to seeing/hearing about your own projects.

  • Well done on doing those jobs. I had my own little result last week. At the end of last summer my lawnmower started playing up. Now, I'm not exactly practical or good with machinery or gadgets and being autistic doesn't help either so I was getting quiet anxious about it and worried I might have to shell out a load of money for a new one. Last week I got the mower out, found a couple of Youtube videos, re-fitted the drive band, gave it a good clean and thought to myself: "Oh well, I've tried but there is no way this is going to work. Things like this just never go well for me." Imagine my shock when I pulled the cord and the thing started first time! Worked perfectly and even better than before. I'm still buzzing about it Slight smile
