Spring has Sprung
Spent a LOT of time outdoors today: it was great! Did some repotting of some plants I’d started such as zucchini and cabbage, and plenty of weeding in flower beds.
The flower gardens seem “out of control” with grasses and weeds. I don’t know how I’m going to work my way around the yard weeding and actually ENJOY anything this summer. How did I get so much on the go? Did I think that the flower beds, once dug and planted, would be free from the damn grasses and annual weeds for even a YEAR? Didn’t happen.
I ache all over all of the time. I shouldn’t feel so old at 50, but maybe it’s just a process of getting into better shape, working harder, etc.
Have felt quite discouraged about the Garden Chat room lately. People are stabbing each other in the back so much of the time, and then there are those with unfamiliar names coming in and being very cruel to “regulars”. Turns out that I’m not immune either: someone has been calling me “fat and stupid”; I wish I had the know-how to discover THAT person’s ISP to see if it’s the same as any “regular”. The person spouts details of my life that I discussed in the room without knowing that there was an “enemy” present! I’ve been back in the room “lurking” under another name, but my usual chat name did not come up in conversation.
Yesterday, I was to have groomed a little dog which I had sold in 1988 to a family: 17 years ago! Then, the father of this family sent word that Trixie was not feeling well enough to be groomed. As the day went on , Trixie got weaker and weaker until the family took their pet to the vet to have her “put down”. Even the longest- lived pet has few years in this world compared to us, so we’re bound to say goodbye to a number of them. I’m so glad Trixie had such a loving home for a very long time, and was not allowed to suffer.
Am fading and shoud put myself to bed.
Take care, everyone. Sorry I haven’t added faithfully to this blog, but thanks for reading!
