Going Forward and Backward . . .

Does that make sense . . .

 it has been three weeks, . . . just me and my "spring job,"

planning, cleaning, sorting, weeding, splitting, purchasing,

repairing, designing, cutting, pruning, arranging, creating.

 

I seem to make a bit of headway 
when suddenly I feel like I am going backward.
   

Non stop garden duties meant
zero time to catch up with each of you.

 

I hope you stay with me, I am nearing the finish line

and promise to be back with some vigor very soon.

 

 

Cleaning up two years of "stuff" has not been much fun

but the benefits are finally bringing some rewards. 

I awakened early this morning because
the sprinkler fix it guy was headed our way.
Better him than me out there fixin' those things.



A few days ago
From My Front Porch In The Mountains
caught me off guard with a question/answer post.

So throwing caution to the wind
I jumped in and answered the following questions.
 
No doubt you will find out some
silly and less so
mentions about me.

Visit Misha's post
and she will explain
this self discovery retreat
and the question/answer exercise.
 
plus, you will find out a bit about Misha too
