It really is too much hard work to do all that planting. I am getting too old for so much work. But when those bulbs come up in spring and bloom it really is all worth it.
Lily has kept me very busy this year. She has turned out to be a very good companion and has kept me busy taking her for long exercise walks whenever the weather allows. By the time I return from our 3 miles walks I no longer had much energy to do much gardening.
