Hi Jenny:
I'd rather be outside working/gardening/mowing than inside cleaning house. I get to the point where I wait for the rain just to clean the house. But, it hadn't been raining much. Oh, well... it all gets done sooner or later.

So, it's nice to know it's not just me. I'm having the same problem but I looked at the house this weekend and was horrified! Decided the weeds are the ones that will need to wait this week. Just hope the bindweed doesn't take over the whole garden! And I think I want a bigger garden, HA! Maybe I should try for a smaller house, yeah, that's it!

The house here is in dire need of attention.
We go out of town next week, and for some reason, I clean big time.
The gardens were looking really good, but weeds as usual looking bigger and lush.
Raspberries are in their second mode of production, and they needed attention too.
For both weed and berry, the weed eater did an excellent job!
I can see the peppers again and the berries can breath!
Funny how it all happans at the same time |

Right now the front flower garden has gone to pot. I got all of the perennials planted, but the nut grass or whatever seems to be taking over. Since the granddaughter is here and it is so darned hot, we can't spend much time outside. However, the house is looking a little better every day and the ironing is almost caught up. I also know if I water the garden, the weeds will get bigger, too, but everything is frying in the sun. I almost want to give up. Watering every day is getting expensive around here.

I don't like housework, so my garden has been getting most of my attention. Because of a rainy May and June, (not to brag....but I will..;D)my garden is looking its best out of all the years I started it. I try to keep the inside tidy and keep the kitchen and bathrooms presentable, but I hate dusting and vacuuming and the rest of it. I have a couple of ladies come once a month to give it a good cleaning, so it's not too bad. My home is lived in, that's for sure!

| I am feeling a bit overwhelmed myself. The days zoom by and I keep getting further and further behind. My house needs a good deep cleaning and organizing. I don't wnat to do either. I love the outside , but the heat is getting to me a little. Over all I am so blessed though. Just watching everything bloom and grow and the summer morning sunrises are worth it all. |
