Okay I'll admit that I've been a bit remiss when it comes to blog postings lately. May is a hard month for me...I have a lot of things to take care of the fifth month of the year. It's time to start the garden...actually I should be doing that in April but I procrastinated a bit (a itsy bitsy teeny tiny bit) so by the time I get there the weeds are up to my knees. Everything that I DON'T want growing in the garden has seeded itself and is growing like..well...weeds. April's rains have excellerated the growing so they're lush green weeds that are knee high. It's a real chore to clear the vegetable garden, the perennial bed, and the herb garden, well-that's an all out war of the weeds! Readying the garden for planting takes a few good days and planting a few more. Especially since other tasks and rainy days keep time in the garden to a few snatched hours here and there.
Add to this other springtime tasks such as putting away the winter clothes, getting out the summer clothes, getting ready for the spring garage sale, spring house cleaning (HA! THAT'S a good one!) and all the end of the school year events. Then there's the birthdays (3) and anniversaries (2-1mine) and Mother's Day....& Memorial Day....which is the weekend we go UpNorth and do all the gardening at my folks cottage and get the dock out on the lake for them. I'm exhausted just thinking about it all! I'm sure I forgot something in all that. Needless to say May is not my favorite month. But June....now..let's see...Father's Day, end of school, birthdays (4)....need I go on?
