A Happy, Exhausting Day

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

For me, that means listening to the Indy 500 on the radio, and making sure my yard and gardens are in full summer shape.

And tonight for the first time since I have lived in this house - nearly 8 years - all of my beds are in top shape! They are all weeded, weed guarded and freshly mulched. The pots are potted, final perennials added and the patio swept. The garage is even organized.

Tomorrow I will tie back the new growth on the wisteria and clematis, and we enter maintenance mode.

My body aches, and there are thorn scratches abound, but I am happy.

JaxMom,

Thank you so very much for your thoughts and prayers for my mom not to mention leaving me a comment saying as much.

I feel very confident that my mom will come through this better and strong on the other side. But she can use all the thoughts and prayers she can get. Thanks again.

And sounds like you got a great jump on the summer flowering season. Good for you!
