sort of back into the garden



Oh dear
 
I thought I'd write a bit
 
but everything didn't cooperate
 
this happens a lot lately since passing the unholy age of 65
But I miss my blogger friends
especially the garden and animal loving ones
 
so here goes....a few lines about my garden
 
It was a mess
really and truly a mess
 
I called in Pablo for help
 
he tore the hell out of it and got it straight
 
I'm too old for the hard work
 
But now that it is whipped into shape
I started
 
and wouldn't you know that nasty poison ivy from last year reared its ugly horrid head
 
but this year I knew what I was looking for
 
and despite making a pledge years ago about using chemicals
 
I sinned
 
Roundup
 
had to.....
 
It's 90 outside
so I did a bit of watering and weeding
and then  almost fainted from all that hot sunshine
 
getting old is a bitch
 
I used to move furniture around the house like it was nothing
 
now, moving a hosta plant all about does me in
 
more tomorrow
