We slept in a little this morning, Tom read the news and I did my long day of PT. Then Tom went outside to garden and I went to our office to pay the bills. I have to take my time doing the accounting these days, since it's easy to make mistakes when you're not as sharp as you used to be. Then I paid the second half of the property taxes. I have to pay them while I have the funds. They are getting higher and higher, and our national economy, and our Social Security, are more and more uncertain.
Today was Trump's 100th day in office, which might be one reason why I was feeling so tired today. What a mess his presidency is, and we still have most of four years to go. He gets more delusional every day.
After I finished the accounting, Tom came in and we put together our order for tulips for next year. We have a catalogue for RoozenGaarde and the tulip growers of the Skagit Valley. We have been ordering from them every year. This year we decided to order early so we would remember what we liked when we were there for the Tulip Festival, and ordering early gets us some free bulbs. Of course the bulbs are still in the field now. They will arrive in October.
Thursday is going to be much warmer. I am looking forward to finding small jobs to do in the garden. I'll have another day of good tired.
It's easy to be more tired these days. Tom's tree is beautiful, as are all of your blooms today. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI'm tired both because of my age and the news. A garden can be a lovely solice.
ReplyDeleteSolace, can't spell either. :-)
DeleteI hear you. I am tired, too, but I will do my Thursday volunteer work and I'm sure I'll be tired afterwards. Love the bright tree.
ReplyDeleteTom's bonsai is looking great! Those tulips are very pretty! Hope you ordered some really pretty ones!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's a challenge to keep active. You know that you can get back your mobility and that's why you work so hard at all the physical exercises.
ReplyDeleteYour plants are so lush and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOne hopes that the current administration will tire of the shenanigans and take steps to resolve the uncertainty.
A good tired is very nice. Your peonies are so beautiful! I only can get them at Whole Foods since our warm weather doesn't allow them to grow.
ReplyDeleteI hope it was another lovely day for you. Those frilly pink tulips are so pretty!!

ReplyDeleteA good day for you. Don’t let Trump get to you.
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers! Isn't it amazing how a walk that could make you more tired can invigorate you? I find the same thing with swimming...sometimes hard to get started, but always glad when I make the effort!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful, as usual. I sure understand about being tired. Like you, I enjoy the good tired from being in the garden. Take care.
ReplyDeleteArt is always amazed by Tom's bonsai trees. He certainly has a gift. It was nice being away from Trump for 3 weeks. Sigh... but now we're back... and the bad news doesn't end. Well... we're sort of back. We're off again and Art will be seeing his retired EPA friends in Chicago. I know how upset they are.
