Its been a really productive rested, and sweated weekend. I believe I was able to do whatever I must do to prepare for a great week following.. Owning a House verses Apartment. Is a super HUGE difference. I'm glad my husband grew up in the country, and has experience with yard work, and in general handy man stuff. Though I finally just shout up, and got to my part of garden responsibilities. So, I choose a really hot day like today to get our front pond addressed, and really I was asking for it. We love the pond, but unfortunately because of mosquitos, and the pond pump keeps on breaking down. We decided to do a rock garden, I thought of an more asian/zen approach, and covered the pond with black mulch, and sand. Then I found a white buddha to sit which really contrasted well with the black mulch and stones. But man it was hot, and everything was heavy to lug around, and I always get itchy when I do yard work, then the mosquitos were working me like crazy!! I have a lot of things that I do already besides being a mom, If I'm not working on design and art work, then its cooking, cleaning, and organizing. Adding garden work to that list just seems a bit insane. Anyways, the front garden is addressed, everything looks really pretty and cleaned up. Hopefully the dreadful mosquitos will be gone. As I sweated like no tomorrow, and I mean I sweated more sweat today then my hottest yoga class in my life, I had to come into the house quite a few times for cool air, ice water, and towel to wipe my face down. I was drenched, and sore like I ran at the gym for 2 hours straight. Though today I'm finishing this post with the news in the background about our local navy seals. Blessings and prayers of love to all their families. Times like this just really make me wish harder that the war of hate, ignorance, indifference may end with peace, for a braver new brighter world. I'm grateful today that I have my family next to me. I'm thankful tonight, and whatever craziness I endured with my front garden now, seems ridiculous.
