(Well, Mrs. Fungus ran to the bank and the grocery store on Monday.)
Still! Otherwise, nothing.
While I was cutting the grass on Monday I espied some wild grapes hanging from one of the several vines investing the foliage in the back yard. When I was by the house I stopped the tractor and grabbed a colander and a pair of scissors, and when I got back to that area I stopped the tractor again and started harvesting grapes.
I filled the colander. I didn't even half try to, and I think I barely made a dent in the amount of grapes hanging off the thing; that was just me harvesting the ones I could reach. I could see that higher up there were a ton more of them.
Really need to get after those grapevines. Holy crap. Hack 'em off at ground level.
...though I have to admit, it's fun to pick wild blackberries in early July and then get wild grapes in August. There just isn't really anything I can do with them. Wild grapes aren't seedless, so eating them is a bit of a pain. I've been thinking I'd pound them through a strainer and have wild grape juice; or I suppose I could try my hand at making grape jam--but regardless the seeds have to go.
Overall the enjoyment I get from harvesting and eating wild berries is overshadowed by the mess the plants make of the landscaping around the bunker. All these weeds have to go.
*sigh*
In fact, the grass didn't really need cutting; it's been so dry that it was just getting kind of shaggy. I figured out that I last cut it July 26; it needed it then, but it was still kind-of okay. But I felt guilty about it, so I did it.

I'm not used to playing this much WoW. Even before I went back to work in December I was averaging under an hour per day; with all the home improvement work and cleaning and de-cluttering and such I was doing, I simply didn't have time for it. Having a job--same thing.
...so even when I take time off specifically to play it, I find I can do about three hours before I start feeling overloaded. Well, that's how it goes.
