It feels like a Sunday to me because I had a vacation day yesterday. this is the first of a series of planned 3-day weekends. It was lovely! The weather was nice too. I cut the grass out front; went to lunch with my friend Ann at our favorite Olive Garden, ate too much, then we went shopping, then I came home and cut the grass out back. Then I rested for several hours on the deck before tackling some pruning chores.
Today it's lovely, but much more humid -- it slows me down considerably not to mention my knees ache in the dampness, and thunder-storms are expected later this afternoon. Despite rising at my usual time I had a slow start - dinked around at Facebook rather than getting to the Walgreens to pick up a scrip and then get out back to continue the never-ending gardening chores! Didn't get to Walgreens until 9:15. I have giant burdock to be dug out and a ton of chopping down and pruning to do. Well, it will still be there 30 minutes from now... But I will move - soon - tomorrow is supposed to be yechy so I must get some more yard work in today.
I have made some progress in getting the back yard in shape. I came across this photo I took on May 22nd, and took this shot of the same area this morning. All the dandelions are gone, hooray! I hope you can see other improvements, not to mention that the garden has exploded to overflowing since May 22nd. It never ceases to amaze me!
Much yet to do. Will I ever have the energy and ambition to edge those island flower beds? Oy!
