4. A gardener is never done

Never. About the time you may think you are done a fresh crop of thistles pop up in the peas or the formerly beautiful blooming centaurea need dead heading. And there are a lot of them because they spread like crazy. Fish pond needs attention, too, and the lawn needs mowing. The list goes on forever and ever. I guess if I get to the bottom of the list I can always turn the compost 😄

It’s 10:30 AM and I am done with garden and yard chores until later this evening. Really warm, full sun and no breeze - actually a beautiful day filled with the symphony of cicada song. But I know my limits. Besides I have pleasant things to do inside, too.

Life in its simplicity is good and I am thankful every day for the blessings in my life.
