Ha-ha! Thought I would throw a little humor in there. You have to have a sense of humor with all the miserable weather we’ve been having. Today started off grey, but mild. By mid afternoon the sun came out and it was actually a beautiful warm day. You could hear the lawn mowers going and smell the heavenly scent of a nearby BBQ. A typical summer day. I was planning to try out the gps this afternoon, but alas, all the batteries needed recharging and I still haven’t quite figured the thing out. It’s an older model, so it will take a little getting use to. What to do, what to do?? I figured I might as well do my flowerbeds before the weeds eventually took over. So I threw on some sunscreen, shorts and my “movie-star” sunglasses as I call them and headed outside. What a perfect day to weed a garden. The soil was moist, so the weeds came out effortlessly. I finished two beds and decided to hold off on the third. My back and knees aren’t what they used to be and I thought I better quit while I was ahead or I would be suffering tomorrow. So here are some before and after pics of my beds.

second flowerbed…a little neglected.

good old PEI red soil:

I just have to pick up a few more plants to add this year, and I will be all set!

Now, off to figure out my gps!!
