Almost Friday!! Busy, busy and will still be for awhile. Charl is still recuperating from her surgery and still out of work. Though I would hate to have gone through what she did, recuperating on the sunny beaches of Florida doesn�t sound all that bad. Yes, the poor thing. She is lounging in the sand and the sun, that bitch wonderful co-worker of mine. Here, we have had rain, rain, clouds, drizzle, and rain. The forecast for the next ten days is more of the same. I am wilting��.wiltin�.wilt�..wi�� You get the picture. I am bumming right now. I planted all the smaller marigolds in the long pots and they are doing very well. I am amazed. I have a purple thumb. It�s about as far away from a green one that you ever saw, but the damn things are alive and well! Go me! On Monday, I dug up what used to be a garden in front of the little wall where I placed the pots. I sat on the wall, armed with a trowel and started clearing it out. I found a border of rocks under the weeds. One, by one, I pulled out the rocks. I will paint them white and it will make a nice border when I�m done. I also invested in a weed wacker and cleared all the grass from that corner. Now that I am keeping that up, there will be no reason for the lawn guys to be anywhere my flowers! They will stay away if they know what�s good for them. I am already getting maternal about my babies flowers. The weed wacker is neat. It only weighs 7 pounds and is cordless. It does a fantastic job! While digging out the rocks, (and digging and digging) I also found another treasure. There was an edge of wood sticking up about two inches. After digging it all out, I ended up with a wooden fence that must have surrounded the inside border that was at least 6 inches high. For the past 12 years, the weeds and dirt had buried it. Unfortunately, the bottom was all rotted. It would have been cute painted white, but I couldn�t save it. So the reason I am bumming is because I want to get out there and do some more gardening! I want to get it finished so I can stand back and look at it and know that the thumbs are maybe going to turn green after all. I want so bad to get out there and play in the dirt. Oh well. It will just have to wait for the sun to reappear in another 8 days.Well, I have to get back to work on my book. I�m going to first try to catch up on some of the diaries. I will catch up on more over the weekend. The book is going well. I hope to have it ready for publication by mid August. My editor says that sounds doable. Please don�t tell her I just wrote doable. She will crack my knuckles with a ruler. She is tough, I tell ya. Real tough! Last night, I had to write 10,000 times, "I will remember to put in all the commas." Ya. She�s tough. Back to work. I think I hear the crack of a whip. Later�.
