Hazards of Lawn Work
Well it had to happen afterall its Fall. So it started when my mother looked into the neighbours lawn and noticed how "tidy and clean" it was. So she forced the whole family out to do work. Anyways what me and my sis have always wanted was to actually be able to see our bountiful apple crop this year ripen (We believe the exceptional quality of the apples this year is because of the wasps, that built a nest under the trees).
Anyways a thing to know about why we want ACTUALLY to see the apples ripen is because, well we can't... It was a very good year for melons this year, and they basically climbed all over the apple trees and are stealing all the light from the apples. So me and my dad (sis joined later)were up climbing the tree, I was using an extremely old and rickety wooden ladder, amidst very strong winds blowing at me. So throughout this process as we removed the vines we ended up finding more melons hidden amongst the vines and branches. So i had to periodically stop and bring the melons to safer area. So up and down the ladder i went, and i ended up bumping my head a few times, the worse bump came when my mother tried to take pictures of us, but ended not even knowing how to take a picutre... On another of those melon transport runs i ended up stepping on a wooden block and what luck it rolled on me, as such I fell, and twisted/injured my foot (luckily it wasn't serious... no signs of brusing etc... just pain).
Furthermore the melons grew into our Honeysuckles (Vine/Flower) and i went through it separating the two. Somehow i ended up getting a cut on my finger during that time in there.
Oh yes, furthermore for those who remembered and actually paid attention when i said that there was a wasps nest under the apple trees, FYI they left already, hey its cold.... otherwise i';ll be mentioning about wasp stings right now.
ANyways hopefully the pics i uploaded are good enough... One shows one small pile of melon vines, the other shows some of the melons and apples (fell as we tugged off the vines) that were gathered today
