Hard work never hurt me

 

     We had a very hot, humid day today and like a fool, I went out to work in the gardens.  At least I waited until the afternoon when the sun was off the area I planned to work in.  I weeded and trimmed back the overgrown baby’s breath and a few other flowers.  Then I hauled three overloaded wheel barrow loads of mulch from the driveway to the pond garden and got that put down.  I still have a ton of work to do but at least I can see some progress now.

     Around six thirty Dear Hubby came outside.  He took one look at me and told me to quit before I had a heat stroke.  I can’t help it if I sweat like a horse.  It doesn’t have to be in the 90’s for me to look as if I just stepped out of a shower when I’m working.  I know, ew tmi!

     All this hard work will be worth it and I’ll be sure to take pictures and add them to my garden and pond page.

  1. ive always wanted to have my own garden…so much for a green thumb, 😉

  2. I keep getting this picture of you beavering away in your garden with the frogs following you around begging for worms, and a chorus line of koi dancing encouragement. If this were a fantasy, I’d have the pooches lying in the shade enjoying the scene.

  3. The mugginess in England was unbearable yesterday.
