Has No Life - Lives on TB
Yes, me too (since February). If nothing else, I'm going to make my house as elder-friendly as I can, without breaking the bank. I'm still able to do most of the work myself, so that's the goal for this year.
That's also why my tree decision is taking awhile. I need both "pretty" and "low maintenance." That's been tough, LOL!
When Cary retired, we set in to make our house and yard as elder-friendly as we could. Not much had to be done to the house, except the upkeep on it, which is an ongoing job, but the yard was a different story. We wanted low maintenance. I got rid of a lot of flowers and shrubs and left only the few right around the house and deck. Cary uses a lot of weed and brush killer around, so he doesn't have to weed eat very much at all. Mowing is his biggest maintenance job. With a riding lawn mower, it's not hard on him at all.
I'm still downsizing in the house mainly to make way for more food storage.
