I Got Done and Got Stuck

Friday and Saturday of this weekend have been spent cleaning house and cleaning the yard.  I especially like the yard part.  


As I was working in various "rooms" of the garden I found myself getting stuck.  I got stuck here in the secret garden and listened to the birds sing.

 I got stuck here under the rose covered cherry tree, thinking about how this will look and smell when the roses bloom soon.  I hope we don't miss the whole show.

 I came back and had lunch here, with the bees buzzing  in the wisteria blossoms.

And each day I sat in the sun here with my afternoon coffee and my book.

 It was wonderful to have ample time to do the work and be able to enjoy the garden too.

 Tom found a few radishes.

 It's columbine time here and the flowers are so amazing.

 Allium are in bloom under the wisteria.

 It's fun to mix the fake with the real.

 All of the drip and sprinkler systems are on and tested.  There will just be a few things to water when the kids come over to take care of kitty.

It's all so lovely I almost hate to leave, but I'm also excited for our trip.  Today we did the laundry and then began the packing.  I'm down to checking off lists.  
After dinner there will be time for a walk.  It's cool today, but the sun comes out now and then and I hear the birds singing through the open window.


And in the morning we fly away.
