We've had lots of yuck for weather this week, so all of the outdoor activities I meant to accomplish kind of got put on the backburner. I have a half-stripped piano out in the garage. Since the floor is still wet on one side in there, I don't feel like being bothered just yet.
I did, however, manage to get the rest of my summer-flowering bulbs planted. They'd been sitting in the garage waiting for a day where I had the energy and patience to finish. Since the ground was sort of soft from the torrential rains, they weren't much of a problem to put it. The only hurdle I ran into was a particuarly gnarly tree root that runs smack through a bed I'm trying to fill. *sigh*
Intuition tells me to get something sharp and to cut the mofo off. Common sense tells me that I'll wake up one morning with a tree on top of my car if I do.
I went to Home Depot this morning looking for bulb planter and one of those tree saws that come on a long stick to get those high branches. They had neither. They had loppers and post hole diggers, and that's it. My mistake was not buying the back and February when the had them in stock.
All they had were a bunch of gardening dilletantes clogging the aisles with baby strollers, buying tools that probably don't suit the job, and purchasing flats of perennials that their neighbors already have. I went in for something else, too, but immediately forgot what as soon as I walked through the door and saw all the warm-weather crazies.
The good news is that we now have 3 fewer leaves on the front lawn than we did this morning.
