Or "may the Force". It's Star Wars Day and I am needing the force to be with me.
May has been a beautiful month so far. We've got lots done, and I am wearing out. Of course it doesn't take much to wear me out these days.
On Friday, May Day, Jill brought me lilacs.
After breakfast and grocery shopping, we took the afternoon off and went plant shopping.
We started at Starbucks, of course.
We had a list and we found everything and more at Vassey's Nursery in Puyallup.
We went to Watson's anyway and found a bit more.
Of course that meant on Saturday we had to plant our new plants, which we did in between watching a Sounders Soccer match and some of the Kentucky Derby. Then we worked the new pots into the "Danger Garden" display on the patio.
The new Black-eyed Susan vine is in place and ready to climb the trellis. It was on the list.
Tom finally got to rest.
Sunday Tom got all of the watering systems set up and checked out. It was 81 here on Sunday. I started putting out all of the glass flowers. Walking all over the yard carrying heavy glass flowers, two at a time in a basket, so I could have my walking stick in the other hand, wore me out and I haven't quite finished. I was going to finish them today but after laundry and mopping and dusting, I was worn out, so maybe later, maybe tomorrow.
I am trying to learn that not everything has to be finished right now. I'm not good at that.
Thanks for the rest. I hope your May is going OK, maybe even Merry!
I love how this blends a little humor with real, everyday moments—“May the Force” is definitely needed sometimes 😊 Sounds like a full and meaningful start to the month, even if it’s a bit tiring. And lilacs on May Day? That’s such a thoughtful and beautiful gesture—those small moments really make everything feel special.

The arborist said it was a water stress from the climate change and the tree is adapting to the situation preferring to have normal leaves at the base of the tree and the top branches may die to shorten the tree .
ReplyDeleteI must get a black eye Susan for this summer. I am like you it is hard not too finish what I have to do and most of the time have to stop
In between. In your previous post I saw all the beautiful bonsai out in the garden!
Thank you again for the arborist idea !
I'm just starting my spring yard work and I can relate to the need to take time to rest between sessions. Your gardens and patio are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteTo have a list and actually find everything on it is quite a feat. Nice pictures of you :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be a treat to walk through your place. Thanks for the photos.
ReplyDeleteYou're ahead of me. We just had a morning frost in K.C. last week. Gotta take my list to the store tomorrow. It's ok to rest. I used to do 6 things a day. Now it's 2. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteSpring work is hard and requires patience and rest times are frequent here. Not everything will get done in a day or three. Do what you can do!
