Somethings come up and I’ll be gone a week or so. I’ll leave you with this sweetheart to keep you company until I return.

This Spring was over wound

And it snapped back and hit me in the head.

 

Blue Eyed GrassI missed the last couple GTS postings. This Blue-eyed Grass and Buttercup were the last wildflower photos I managed to take before losing all sense of time.

 I didn’t get a chance to post them since I took off for Long Island to do a little gardening for a ‘friend’. You know - a little weeding, dividing and transplanting that an established garden needs. But what I found when I arrived was a major pain in the backside. The whole backyard was tore up after new cess pools were installed. And to top that off the new pool house was still in a state of unfinished limbo with construction debris laying all around. To make a long story short - I ended up spending 3 weeks instead of 3 days.

 Temps pushing 100 F. didn’t help. It must have been the heat that made me open my mouth and volunteer to do the pool house patio. I don’t do pavers! But the homeowner is more of a friend than a client and someone needed to get the ball rolling again.

 Too bad I forgot my camera. Before and after photos would have been nice to see.

 I’m back now - but burnt out. Temps pushing 100 F. in the first weeks of June didn’t help. And now I just don’t feel like doing anything but going fishing. Tomorrow I plant the perennials I returned home with and after that I’m going to go missing again for a week to recharge my batteries. I’m headed to some backwoods wilderness area to commune with nature and introduce some Largemouth Bass to my favorite lures.
