If it's less or more than that, I'm complaining :) Lucky, lucky you on your leisurely springtime pace! I've never not been in a rush during the spring...it just seems to go from nothing to full steam ahead in no time with a mountain of stuff needing to be done all that the same time (i.e. once the weather is above freezing most days but before everything starts growing at breakneck speed). I'm hopeful that one of these days, I'll figure out the secret to a more leisurely pace (short of moving!) May be wishful thinking, but still :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-67560017000534750642019-04-13T08:05:59.241-04:002019-04-13T08:05:59.241-04:00Sound advice Sue - now if we could only do somethi...Sound advice Sue - now if we could only do something that would stop the dang wind :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-7760175640805842912019-04-13T01:01:30.396-04:002019-04-13T01:01:30.396-04:00You are a weather wimp?

Your spring is so short, I would fail utterly as a gardener in your place because I'm so accustomed to the very forgiving mild weather here. I keep putting off spring tasks because there's no need to really rush. But I'm also just not motivated to really go for it this year. I think I need something of a break from the garden. Last year was so difficult and I just don't need to go through that again. But that load of compost does make me smile. :) Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-70272061652962636212019-04-12T18:12:43.103-04:002019-04-12T18:12:43.103-04:00We are still having to wear lots of layers to get ...We are still having to wear lots of layers to get out and carry out our gardening tasks.

It's tough going sometimes, especially when there is so much to do...when I'm knee deep in one project, my mind often goes to the 5 others that are waiting. In the past few years, I've made a concerted effort to prioritize and not get side-tracked. I'm not always successful, but each year I do get a little bit closer to reaching my self-imposed goals for the season, which is a win in my books :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-25451819732903631352019-04-11T15:42:52.333-04:002019-04-11T15:42:52.333-04:00You made great progress on your jungle bed!

I routinely get struck with a bug and launch into a major project before I can talk myself out of it but chipping away at a problem area usually helps me get going on anything I've put off.<br /><br />P.S. Compost is always beautiful in my book.
