as seen from space.....

ok, so...the crab grass in my mothers flower beds had become so obscene that the three of us went up the hill after supper and triple teamed as many beds as could be done in the dwindling daylight....she had dandelions that were over 1.5 foot tall!...an impressive collection of weeds that completely blocked all view of petunias, hostas and the like.....and with all three of us hard at it, we were able to do a decent job of it before we could see no more.....today was a day of cleaning out.....i filled 2 washbaskets of books to take to the goodwill, taking care to cull those that are not mine...those are piled in the basement bedroom.....i was able to shelve those books that were in piles, in our bedroom at least....and at this very moment there are no piles of any kind in my livable space.....how long this pile-free lifestyle will last is anybody's guess.....
