Yes, envy is a mild word, but I don't mind missing all the work. You are right about the work never getting done. I had a mass undertaking last fall. I had about 1000 pots that had, and I mean HAD to be repotted. I got about 700 of them done. It took from mid-July til November 18 to get those done.
This month has been dedicated to getting all 1500 pots, yes they grew and I still have atleast 300 to go, cleaned and fertilized for Spring. I started doing this in mid-February. I thought I was doing great getting such an early start. Well, surprise surprise, Spring is atleast 3 weeks early, thus, I'm now 3 week behing!!!
I haven't done the first thing to my garden beds. They are a huge mess, really huge mess. If you don't know what bermuda grass is, I hope you never find out. It grows to the middle of Earth and then turns and comes back! Not to mention all the trimming and leaves, yes last fall's leaves need to be gotten out of the beds, chopped and put back. They'll probably get chopped, but will stay on the grass. Oh, grass, or my weeds need to be mowed. And the list goes on.
And to top this, I'm sick with something. Probably allergies since everything around is green with oak tree pollen. They say that this year broke records with pollen. I'm running a low fever and my body just hates fever and makes my already hurting body, really hurt!!! I have allergy pills that I take when necessary, so I'm taking them and Tylenol. I'm up about 3 hours early because of a headache. Yuck!!!
Well, I've complained enough for a year but I'm sure I'll do it again.
Ok, self pity is over, now to try to be totally lazy today. It's waited this long, it can wait longer. It's raining also, so that gives me another excuse to stay in.
I wish everyone the blessing of our Lord and may you each have Peace and Grace this wonderful God given day, Mona
