Saturday-all day gardening (planting):
We had a massive yard/planting overhaul. We moved the big bushes that were under our front windows to a new flower garden beside a birch tree on our side yard. We moved 3 rose bushes to the back yard. Moved one bush to the back yard. Planted 2 NEW lilac bushes to the empty spots under the windows in front of the house. broke up the iris's and put them up against the house in a long line under both sets of windows on each side of the front. Moved a ton of cone flowers and black-eyed susan's to various spots. Moved 3 Sage plants to a NEW flower garden under the new Beech tree (the maple tree is dying and will need to be cut out asap). Planted the 10-12 new bulbs we got under the new side birch tree garden. Moved some daisy clumps--a few clumps to various places...etc. etc..oh, and I started by mowing the front and back--bag mower and dumping the grass clippings into our garden....My fingers are even sore as I type this. I started at 8:30 and stopped for a short lunch; but didn't stop until dinner at 6:30pm. It was a big day!! The very, good Lord has blessed me by not making me bedridden with all the back trouble I sometimes get when I have to dig, dig, dig big deep holes and tug, tug, tug on old, stubborn bushes that don't want to budge! I am so happy that I am not "paying for it" by being miserable! I feel stiff; but I am not as miserable as I was after that one workout from Leslie Sansone with all the squats and lunges!! That was really worse! much worse! Eric and Larkin worked too--the did the planting in the backyard. They planted the roses I dug up in the front and they planted them in the back yard. They also planted the bush in the back yard. And they planted more peas in the garden---and perhaps something else....I heard them saying something didn't come up and needed re-planting.
Sunday-we made it to church and had a really great visiting minister---the same one I really liked from 2 weeks ago!
