It’s one of those rare weekends – nothing to go to, not many errands needed – it’s what I call a “putz and pamper” weekend.  The best kind ever!  A whole weekend of endless possibilities.  So thoughts turn to the garden.  Scope creep begins – new water in the hummingbird feeder of course, trim the shrubs – already started at 5pm, check the tulip stems to see if they are letting loose yet – done … And then the walk-around starts – put chicken wire around the bottom of the hibiscus so the squirrels can’t get at the fresh dirt every morning and make a colossal mess – ok – done.

Chicken wire the lettuce seeds that are languishing – I suppose – done.  Move some plant pots a bit – done.  Now it really starts – move the ‘Praying Hands’ hosta that is being overshadowed by a daylily, put daylily seeds in small empty spots in the garden, redesign the front entry area – STOP!  It’s a putz and pamper weekend, remember.  Oh, yah …
