GARDENING

I have been trying to get my gardens in shape. It's coming along, slowly, but surely. I found out that I have  2 broken toes and 2 cracked ribs after my fall a couple of weeks ago, so I am working slow. I'm not one to just sit around doing nothing with an injury. I have one side of the house all finished, and I have to get the other side done. If I could only get them in order, I could keep them up. It's just "getting" them in order. Every year, I have friends that tell me they will come and help, but they never do. I think they realize how much garden I have, then back out. I am eliminating a couple of them, so I can just concentrate on the others. I have been busy digging up and moving perennials. It is supposed to get really hot later this week, so I am outside working around 6:30 each morning.

Kit loves to sit in the sun.
She is such a cutie!

  8. Oh....what beautiful gardens and plantings you have! Yes, you put me to shame as well - and while I have a bad back, I certainly don't have the injuries you do! Just beautiful! (Love your birdhouse touches!) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
