I spent my entire day building new garden beds.
The kitchen? A mess.
Dishwasher? Full of clean dishes needing to be put away.
Dinner? McDonalds.
Kid’s Lunch for tomorrow is unpacked. Meat needs to be marinated for dinner tomorrow but I am tiiiiiiired. Laundry to be folded and put away. Toys all over the floor need to be picked up.
But damn my new beds look good. Now all I have to do is haul all the dirt from the front of my house to the back of my house!
Summary
- Indoor chores save for rainy days; outdoors, it’s all about the plants!
- Planting season trumps partner’s needs; wine and plants make a perfect day.
- Gardeners unite in the madness of neglecting daily tasks for a blooming garden.
