This weekend was the first time that I thought perhaps home ownership (specially being a gardener) may get the best of me. Yet I will persevere because I don't have another option at this point in time. I still enjoy the dirt and gardening but a couple weeks of rain and no time for the garden is allowing the weeds to win the battle. I spent 4 hours today outside weeding....three garbage bags of weeds!!! Incredible.
But to take my mind off that battle, I am working on small corners of the house...here is some new spaces I have redone or created.

| My porch...the chairs will be a bench shortly...I am percolating an idea! |
 |
| My back sun room with the two chairs I need to recover...some day! |
 |
| My new (for now) patio table...just need something to eat on outside. Now if I can do anything about the mosquitos, it would be paradise |

| Necklaces on the back of the bedroom door...perfect location |
In other news, an unusual theft happened today between 3 and 6 pm. My blue recycling cart which is always situated by my back gate was stolen. I had dumped a bunch of recyclables in there this afternoon just before 3 pm so I'm not sure what they are going to do with cardboard, papers and plastic containers, etc. The one bright spot is that this morning I decided to fill in my address on the cart. The cart had a spot that says "This cart belongs to this address: " Who knows, my blue cart may find its way back but until then, I will call the city and see if they can deliver another one for me. Oh, the adventurous life I lead!!
what a bizarre theft. happy gardening.
