Lady, Lady, Lady

The weather today was perfect.  I finished preparing 4 planting holes and carefully planted my newest adopted plants:  Yellow Lady Banks Rose, White Lady Banks Rose, Akebia Vine, and a thornless blackberry.

This was quite a task.  I had to prepare my special Garden Gnome soil mix before attacking each newly dug hole.  With so much to do in the garden and greenhouse, it seemed like I had to touch each bucket of last year's soil, empty buckets and pots that had standing water, pull healthy weeds, locate a fresh bag of organic compost, find the new bag of lime, move tools and trays in the garden shed, take a string of Christmas lights out of the front River Birch tree, straighten a hose, organize some old plastic pots, stand and plan how to enclose the ends of the greenhouse with storm windows, and the list goes on. . . . .  Makes me tired just thinking about all the little tasks I covered.

And right in the middle of all this exciting activity, I went inside the office to get a ham sandwich, only to become riveted in front of the TV watching a tennis match. It is a wonder I did not go to sleep.  Must have been the fish fertilizer on my clothes that kept me awake.  That stuff has quite an odor.

Now I am feeling the bending and stooping and noonday heat. . .I need a walker or cane to get to bed.
