I'm okay with it if I let it get to the point where it feels like a 'project', but I've learned that the only way I'm really into it is if we're creating something 'new'...we've added a wall, or torn one down, creating something 'new' stirs me to make everything look good.....the best friends are other gardeners.....friend Bex was coming by a couple of days ago and I could say "It's not raining, the house is dirty and there are things I'd rather do outside.....",,,as opposed to the neighbor who does not garden or get outside, in fact had said she did not like being outside....that one came into my house and the first thing she did was wipe her finger across the dust on top of a lamp and look at it.....what I wanted to say was 'don't ever do that again...'...instead I asked her if she dusts a lot...she blithely said, "Oh, yes...every day....".....speechless.......
