It was Monday alrighty......

 

I only like before and after pictures.....

if they don't involve ME

being embarrassed.

My gardens have been neglected.

I LOVE to garden,

but I don't like to feel like

I need to call out the

National Guard

for help.

I like to keep up on things.

I failed my gardens this summer.

 

 

Things got WAY out of hand......

we had a rainy, rainy,

summer......so the weeds have been quite happy,

and quite busy.

 

 

 

This is the second pair of gloves I had on today. 

The first ones were pathetic.

These are the ones that got blood on them.

 

 

 

I was outside from around 9 until 5?

Yes, I took breaks.

One pretty long one when Roy Rogers came on.....

and ice cream was in my bowl.

 

I swept, tidied everything up.

 



 

I pulled weeds and carted them to the sidewalk pile.

I put rabbits in better places.

 



And, I pinched my finger between

two of these scalloped bricks....

SO HARD,

that it bled.

My finger literally popped on the end.

I took a break then, too.
I've been flower gardening and doing yard
stuff since we moved here over 24 years ago.
I have NEVER hurt myself as bad as I
did today.
I've been bitten by mosquitos and red ants
and have gotten poked by rose bushes.....
but today was the worst.
ouch
ouch
ouch

 



 

I cleaned this corner.

Now, it looks like you can sit in this chair,

and drink something cold.

But don't.

The chair is almost rusted to the ground.

It's now yard art.

 



I was in Kansas in August.....and my sister gave me these rocks.

They were from my Granma's garden in Kansas.

Everything my Granma did was very neat and tidy.

Even her rocks were nice.

I'm glad I've got some of them.

 

I'm glad I finally took them out of the bag they've been in

for over a month.

 



So, everything is THIS garden is all fixed.

I have more to do.

Some of it might still need the

National Guard.

We'll see.

 



 

Just some friendly advice.....

take it or leave it.

 

Never MAKE more gardens in your yard

then you can take care of.

 



 

Never have more kids than you can home-school.
