Well, today between runs I was in the garden. All I needed to do was send my Dad out for mulch. Most of you don’t know my story but here’s it in a nutshell.
I moved from Amagansett and the beach to the Catskills and the mountains to take care of my Dad when he was going to be 80. Tomorrow he turns 87. My Dad is my errand guy. Got an erran…
Well, today between runs I was in the garden. All I needed to do was send my Dad out for mulch. Most of you don’t know my story but here’s it in a nutshell.
I moved from Amagansett and the beach to the Catskills and the mountains to take care of my Dad when he was going to be 80. Tomorrow he turns 87. My Dad is my errand guy. Got an errand? Give him a list and he’s out the door like he’s on fire!
Home Depot had a huge sale on mulch and after I weeded the garden beds and planted more flowers it was a high priority for me. So today in between the day job I used all 10 bags of mulch in the beds. Plus I had 4 bags of bark that needed a home which I found. Now that all that plastic is in the recycle bin, it’s time for bed.
I too have a terrible time finishing projects. And because I know that about myself I just force myself ti finish what I start without an excuse. Oh and I have an excuse for everything. Like todays would have been I don’t have time to drive to Oneonta, or my car is too small or the sale is tomorrow, and the next day day too, or the weeds couldn’t possibly grow that fast again... you get the drift. But I must say the shear reward was the sense of accomplishment. Knowing that my plants will now have all the moisture they need to grow into beautiful flowers for the season. Considering I grew all of these from seeds, watching them thrive this summer will be my reward.
I LOVE the tree... with each of the muses doing their own thing in their own little worlds together.
Thank you for sharing your story-in-a-nutshell! I love that your father is still running errands. 💜 Go Dad! I'm hoping to get our strawberry picking with my 86 year old dad in June.
Excuses... like mousetraps. So often I try to dash in and grab the peanut and get stuck -- not dead, but sometimes the project is! 😂
I'm happy with the tree concept and the muses... maybe not for a shirt. As I said to Gary, shirt design is better kept simple I'm learning.
I'm not sure where else I can use the design... yet! :)
