Springtime Hiatus

First of all, a follow up to my recent post about Lady helping me with the red Knock Out rose shrub that got crushed by the falling screen. That screen ended up falling not once, but twice (now the screen is tied to the fence). Poor rose bush. But, never one to waste a bloom, I salvaged some of the damaged stems I had to clip, and tucked them into little vases here and there around the house. But alas, even some of those were doomed. A bag of groceries inadvertently got set on this one.

*sigh*

Oh well! I didn't waste too much time worrying about it. Seems like now every time I start to fret about some little thing, the images of the neighborhoods in Tuscaloosa Alabama come to mind, and I realize that one broken bush is not that big a deal.

In April and May, I am at my height of gardening nirvana and want to spend every waking moment outdoors. I will keep on digging in the dirt even after the sun has disappeared and I have to resort to turning on all the outside lights to finish up the project of the day. I think if I knew I had one last day on earth, I'd spend it planting petunias.

During the first part of April, I tried to keep up my schedule of regular posting, and visiting my favorite blogs at least every other day. But the tug to do other things has just been too great. So I've decided to give myself permission to take a break and enjoy my springtime diversions.

I'll still be blogging and visiting, but my "computer time" will only be once a week for awhile. Once the weather heats up and its so humid we feel like we're living in a terrarium, I'll be back indoors, happily sitting at my computer in the air conditioning. For now though, I'll be outside with dirt on my hands. Hope you're all enjoying a lovely spring!

Look whose photo I got!! :)
