Having fun this morning. The bosses wife had made me go out and "help her" dig up an old rose bush. It had been healthy and beautiful for 20 years or so. It got the rose rosette disease, and started looking really weird. She did use her battery powered cutters to cut off some of the limbs. The rose bush had to go. It had a huge root system, and was a challenge to get out. I had to go get my 4 foot long pry bar, and literally jump and down on the end of it to get it to come out of the ground. I still had to chop off a few large roots. It is all stuffed in the trash bin, and goes to the curb this afternoon for pickup tomorrow.
Then she let me mow the yard, "while I was in the mode" and in yard work clothes. It is too early to drink one or two of the bosses beers as yet, but I will get to that later.
