I spent the whole entire weekend in the yard. And I get Monday, too! A weekend in the yard is probably nothing to most but a few things here, I work full time and I have been caring for my husband (who has beaten cancer!) which some of you may have read about . I missed the entire spring season but would not have chosen to be anywhere except with my husband in the hospital. He came home mid June.

Mid summer I started shaping up the lawn again. Then slowly but surely I tended to some of the beds.

This weekend, I got down and dirty laying sod and topsoil, repotting, potting up plant starts, trimming trees, hedging and reshaping bushes and deep-watering. I mowed, edge and blew not only my yard but the neighbor's yard, too. There is still a lot to do but I feel like a new woman but I probably looked like something dragged out of the bayou! I was dirty, sweaty, wet, and hot. The bandana, dark glasses, and mask I wore made me look like a Ninja Warrior. That hot shower never, EVER felt so good! Wow! It was a great day! It's good to be back !!
