One of my dear sisters came over early on Saturday morning (we're not early people) to help me weed the garden. Michael did the mowing and spraying of the rest of the property. We got a lot done in ~4 hours. I cut back the foliage along the front sidewalk so that people can actually walk to the front door from the driveway without getting their clothes snagged. My sister finished clearing the rose garden. I re-weeded the corner along the sidewalk to the front porch. We started loading the cleanup into the truck. It all looks so nice now. The flowers are gorgeous.
Unfortunately I got a fever later that afternoon. Slept for about 4 hours. I was really hoping that I wouldn't have too many after effects today as my sisters and I had planned to go to the Rockies game as a joint celebration of our birthdays.
I felt pretty good and we met at my sister's house in Thornton. I got to see all the work she got done on her patio which I missed because I was either sick or grooming the dog for a show. My sister who helped me weed, managed to get tickets on the club level just under the roof with the sun at our backs. I was so grateful for that. The sky clouded and we even had some breeze. A great day for a game. Unfortunately, they scored one run, albeit a really nice homer, to lose 1 to 3. Michael did more spraying and mowing until it got too hot.
Michael and I just got back from a little dinner and took a nice stroll down the street. It was a perfect evening to do more yard work, but...
I asked for a nice birthday weekend, and I got one. I've been eating, feeling tired, but overall OK (except for that rogue fever). So, I'm assuming I'll be going to work tomorrow. We shall see.
