in the garden.......

ok, so one of the things i like best about saturday, aside from the not-having-to-go-to-work thing, is that i can get up, make coffee, and stroll about the garden clutching said coffee, both before and after i read the newspaper on the deck.....all in my jammies.....i suppose it is my honeybee pajama bottoms that add that extra touch of leisure to this rutual.....the whole scenario is so comfy....at home in the best sense.......of course....it is during the early morning rounds that i make plans for the real work to come....the beds that need thinned......or mulched......or weeded.......today's chore is to eradicate the poison ivy that has popped up......poison ivy is a curious plant......we can go years without seeing any.....and this must be its year to make a triumphant reappearance because i have seen it in at least 3 spots......i suppose that pulling it out is better than looking for some chemical to do the job......maybe i can scare up some disposable gloves.........musn't spend the rest of this momentous week with a bad rash..................
