Weeds

 August 25th

Most of my day I spent in a bad headspace.  Something frustrated me and I spiraled. I'm very thankful that I was able to power through it.  I'm also thankful that my morning was spent alone so I could work through stuff.  Here are the accomplishments I made that reversed my downward spiral:

  • Sometime before the ground freezes again, I hope to have the entire triangle part of the driveway cleaned up with many more bulbs and things planted for the spring.  Today I got dirty and pulled many weeds.  There is still a long way to go, but, yay!
  • In the process of pulling weeds I found some bulbs.  I'm assuming they are tulips, but I'm not positive.  They have been replanted around the rack that I am hoping to use for morning glories.  
  • Morning glories seeds got planted under the rack.  Do I expect old seeds planted near the end of August to sprout? No.  However, if they do, yay!  If they don't then the area is mostly prepped for planting them in the spring.  
I believe the little plant is a volunteer iris.
That means they are spreading!

The rack where the tulips and morning glories are planted.

Some of the triangle area of the driveway. 
I'm trying to use cardboard where I have weeded but not planted yet.  I didn't put down enough cardboard.


Currently listening to: The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood. 

Thank you for being here and being part of my daily happy things. Stay safe!


Also... I edited the picture to remind me next year...
