This Spring was over wound
Join Green Thumb Sundays
And it snapped back and hit me in the head.
I 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.

Those are sure pretty flowers. The colors would fit great in my royal sunshine flowerbed.

Sounds like you need to hang out the “Gone Fishin’” sign. Take your camera this time. You might want to get a shot of a whopper.

Glad to see you back!
Enjoy your time with nature and the bass, but don’t forget your camera this time.

Have fun! 100 degrees sounds cool–we just had 117.
