After spending the afternoon in the garden digging up the last of the Lily of the Valley and transplanting all the purple coneflowers, I am worn out. So for the next few months, I am just going to sit underneath our pin oak tree and enjoy it all.
Like knitting, I would rather not garden once the weather turns hot. I sweated like a pig pulling out the lilies. It was too much like work and not a lot like a relaxing hobby.
All the gardening projects on my to-do list ( most of which involve cutting down bushes and flowers that no longer fit into my landscape design) will just have to wait. Maybe by the time Fall rolls around, I’ll get my energy back.
