Teaching Gardening

One Saturday at a time.  April 9th is Outdoor Gardening with Annuals and Perennials. I found out yesterday.  The past three days have been wonderful and very tiring.  Good customers with lots of questions.  Good conversations relating to life and gardening.  Still too much standing around, but each day there is more to do.  Still too much drama from a few of the younger employees.  I have resorted to covering my ears with my hands and saying "na na na" when this one young man goes on and on about the never ending breakup with his girlfriend.  Enough!!!

The Nursery is getting ready to open and the employees working with trees and shrubs are extremely happy.  Nursery is separated from everything else--they even have their own cash register out there.  How I wish I had a cash register where I work.  Not really.  A garden hose that doesn't knot up and kink?  Yes, please!!!

Tomorrow I am off.  Haircut.  Post Office.  Bank.  Target or TJ Maxx for bras. Pilates mat for floor exercises. Dog Walk. Book Reading.  Homemade pizza for dinner. Survivor.   Way too many things plus I need to pack up the fabric bags for the Linus Project.

My horoscope keeps mentioning a choice I am supposed to be making--regarding my future.  And I am so bogged down with my "To Do" list that I can't find time to even think about anything else.  I had a hard time this afternoon trying to figure out how to turn off my windshield wipers.  They just kept going faster.  Is that the message?  Slow down?  I did manage to be very nice at work and smile a lot.  That felt good.

Riley is enjoying the new bags of food.  Eating with renewed joy and appetite.  Bouncing around like the puppy he still is at four.  He has even returned to his hobby of chasing squirrels.  Makes me very happy.  I know you were worried, also.
