Today started my vacation. I will take this coming week off and then will do it again later in July................I have several plans for the week, most of which involve working in my yard. I woke up this morning and worked over 7 hours........................I did things I hadn't planned to do............like cut back azaleas that are ancient and overgrown............I thought I was cutting back 2, but as I got closer to the ground, they were really 6.........I am "reclaiming" that land next to the house and am going to move the azaleas underneath a huge tree out front.........I'll put cutting flowers in their spot, which is west facing..........so the best sun I get. Chris took T. to another lacrosse tournament and J. has been with a friend all day...............E. is hiding somewhere with a book so it has been wonderfully quiet here...............a rare thing. Wish I had taken a before picture of these overgrown bushes, but I didn't think of it..........they look horrible now, but that won't last long. As I finished that back breaking job, I started noticing all the other overgrown bushes that I have..............but, I do have other things to do this week other than garden...........like not put on makeup ONCE or any work clothes.....................go to yoga lots...............sew with E., swim with J. and see if it isn't too hot to get T. to go on a hike at Crabtree falls...............we will see..................in the mean time.........I am going to order pizza as I am not cooking tonight either.
