Two Beer Tuesday

I enjoy an occasional beer, but it's usually just once in a while, and one at a time. I think my favorite time to savor a beer is after I've mowed the yard. It's hot, I'm sweaty, and I get a lot of enjoyment out of sitting on the front porch sipping from a nice cold bottle, surveying the lawn, and congratulating myself on a job well done.

I got home from Colorado late Friday night, and mowed the lawn in NJ first thing Saturday during a two-hour window when it wasn't raining. It usually takes me about an hour and a half with a push mower, but it is good exercise (and then there is that beer afterwards). Then it was time to pack some things, drive down to MD, and mow the lawn down here.

It poured on Sunday and Monday so that meant mowing had to happen this morning. Those two extra rainy days, plus more than a week's worth of growth made this a daunting task. If I had a tractor, the grass could have been baled rather than mowed. Halfway through, I started thinking this might be a two beer job.

And it was. 

P.S. I will eventually tell you about Fort Collins and my two visits to The Loopy Ewe, but right now I'm in MD and the yarn I bought is in NJ. The post just wouldn't be the same without photos, but I will give you a small hint until I'm home and can take photos; I didn't limit my purchases to just beads (just as you all predicted)!
