Gardening

I started early this morning and by 11 a.m. had watered all the perennial gardens, weeded the alley garden and planted hollyhocks that will grow this summer, bloom next season on the north side of the cedar fence; planted seeds in five pots which I scattered around the front and side stoops, and on the deck that overlooks the back yard gardens and chimonea; cleaned the dandelions and maple tree seeds from all the cracks in the sidewalk and garage apron; cleaned my garden tools and left them in the sun to dry.

A I planted the temperature soared to 86 breezy very sunny degrees.  After lingering in a long hot bath, I turned on the television thinking that there might just be something that would catch my attention.  Ever hear the line "dream along with me?"  Well, it was the usual shoot em up, cut em up, kidnap em and rape em fare with the occasional old movie I have already seen more than once.  Even the History Channel today had nothing of substance to offer beyond reliving the WWII and Vietnam (already have seen both shows)....grurrahhhh.  

So I grabbed my book "Phillip and Elizabeth: Portrait of a Royal Marriage" and read until I drifted off for a luxurious nap.

It is now approaching 6 p.m. and:
The phones have rung; I haven't answered them ...
The mail came ... it is still in the mailbox ...
I have not checked email ...
Or posted on FACEBOOK ...

The photo of the "blue bun-bucket chair" was taken at Wild River State Park several years ago.
It is a favorite
It is really quite simple '
I am fed by all things green
Wild or landscaped ... ...
Simple soul food!
