look in a garden. (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
oh what a day! 45 minutes on the elliptical at the gym, then got home, put the gaffer to bed and threw on the gardening gloves (hot pink of course).
started in the backyard. started raking, pruning dead shrubs...what's this? sedum! geraniums! oenethera! oh my! hydrangea! rose bush! more daffodils and irises! so i went nuts! it is now 6:30, and i am almost done. rockstar hubby cleaned up brush pile as i raked like a mad woman, pruning and slashing the little bits to the ground. (hey if they wanna make it they gotta toughen up!) oh i have a lovely garden coming. met neighbours across the road and found out that i have very lovely gardens, but they were neglected for two years. not anymore baby!!! oh i can't wait. i have already put out a few faerie statues among the campanula and they look like right at home.
oh i'm so tired and a little sunburned...but i'm so excited and happy. when i die, i wanna be in charge of the gardens...
my dad called me tonight and we talked for 20 minutes...
