Long weekends are long and not very relaxing
I am tired, sore, pleased. It has been a productive weekend, and I need some sleep to recover.
And I want to let you know that I hate being dirty. My gardening gloves are some of the best things ever, and pretty much the only way I can work in the garden for any length of time. As it is I still run in to wash my hands frequently, I spent several hours today almost physically itching with the need to take a shower – but couldn’t, because we had more dirty work to be done. I do always feel happy with what we have accomplished, but boy do I hate that feeling of being sweaty and dusty with dirt under your fingernails. Oh it just makes me shudder.
Thankfully my garden has pretty much been set. The seeds are all planted, the fence installed… now I just have to make sure I keep the weeds out and keep it watered – which the new soaker hose should easily help me accomplish. Den keeps coming up with new projects outside and I’m all like, dude, I have some ceilings and trim inside that need to get painted… then I tip-toe off really quietly.
Looks great! Although the dog looks a little wistful at the fencing….
Your garden looks beautiful – it’s coming along wonderfully!
How lovely! I came this close || to buying some of those flowers you have in the center. Alas, I resisted.
I did the same thing this weekend. I used to hate getting dirty too, but I seem a little more relaxed with each passing year. Earlier today I was gardening barefoot and gloveless!!! It was wonderful.
Though I do find I still hate getting the dirt out from under my fingernails. My gloves are no help with that anyway. I have learned that that scratching a bar of soap before gardening (getting the soap flakes under your nails) can help a great deal.
