A Breather


Work has been so busy of late that gardening has had to take a back seat. Of course, the busy seasons overlap! Watering must go on, however. While we've gotten some rain, it hasn't been enough to keep the containers or the newly planted shrubs from wilting, so I've had to at least keep up with that. It's nice though, in the early mornings or evenings, to just stand there with the watering wand and enjoy the outdoors.

Somehow, I manage to put away thoughts of all the work that still needs to be done--landscape cloth around the rest of the trees and planting beds, soil amendments and mulch for the planting beds, weeding and more weeding, etc.

Finally, the ugly old picnic tables, with all their moss and sap and who-knows-what, are gone (thank you to my grass-cutting guys!). Of course, now my excuses for not having a garden party are evaporating just like the water in the bird bath...
