The weather has been so glorious all week, and Andy has been on a week of holiday, so I've beenb sitting out in the garden most of the week. No weeding. Just reading and using the laptop outside. Making full use of the table eith umbrella and the swing. I even put out a lounger! The fountain is tinkiling away, the birds are singing. The laundry is drying.
So what's the problem? The housework. It's not getting done. The dishes are okay, the laundry is up to date. This morning I finally vacuumed the lounge. The rest needs to be done. You could probably write a book in the dust on just about every surface. And to make it worse, I don't care all that much. My current thinking is that I have to take advantage of the good weather while I have it and play catch up indoors when itr changes later today or later in the week. Fortunately for me Andy and Chel agree.

Himself has done a lot of work out here, it's his hobby. He did most of the weeding so there isn't so much for me to do and he used weedkiller on the areas that I normally do to cut down on my job. Way to go. We are so fortunate to have this garden to enjoy.
I bought an undercoat rake for Stevie. Boy oh boy did that little guy need it. Who'd have guessed how much fur the other brush left behind that we didn't know about. Luckily he loves being brushed and comes when he sees his brushes. Jess is happy to be brushed but doesn't seem to enjoy it as much as my little buddy does. Still, we got a lot of undercoat off that skinny girl. Whoda thunk it?
Today is a fair bit cooler and more comfortable. They give heavy showers later which will be great for the plants. The pink rhododendron was stunning but didn't last long - I guess it was too dry. And we have to save water so it will stay dry. The newer plants get the dishwater....and the tubs.
The knowledge that I don't have to earn pleasure is still there and working better than ever. It makes life sooooooo good. I'd recoimmend it
