An army of weeds and bushes had been allowed to silently take over the back of the yard. Until today, when I was left alone with a lawn mower and a determination to reclaim my yard. I plowed the stubborn walls away with the lawn mower I had borrowed from my dad (ours was in the shop). At the end of the day, I had cleared several yards of undergrowth and left with a few lessons:
1. Unnecessary weeds left unkempt can take over if left ignored choking the life out of potential growth, robbing the yard of its true potential.
2. All you need are the right tools to remove any weeds.
3. Sometimes you have to use your own hands when tools don't work.
4. It is hard work to clear land. Its not work for wimps.
5. If the tools your parents loaned you no longer work, look at what you already have.
6. There is nothing you cant remove with determination.
7. Sometime beneath the undergrowth you can find treasures: toys, shoes, even a pair of glasses
8. If it gets to hard, take a break. But don't give up.
9. Anything that clutters up space should be removed.
10. Nothing is better than space without unnecessary clutter. Yards and homes and even life is made better when it is cleared of clutter.
