    My mom used to say that sometimes. First you have no plans and then there are too many.
    I now have to repot the lavender, clean out the wheelbarrow and start the spinach, clean out the pots and start some lettuce and flowers and the eggplant, read my book from the library (White Lies by Jayne Ann Krentz), finish some more stories for the reunion and work on my quilting project. Now, where can I borrow some time? I won't be able to pay it back right away so if I can borrow some I will be keeping it awhile. Dooley

    I think everybody always has plans, they just don't sit down for a minute and think what they are. Once you give it a little thought you'll realise that you do indeed have 101 things to do.

    I repotted the lavender and the tuberous begonia that I got for Christmas and added Vitamin B1 to the soil of those and several other plants. I cleaned out the wheelbarrow and planted the spinach. I dug out some covering for it at night. I watered all the plants from the exercise room. We brought them outside this morning for some sun and fresh air. Now, I have to move all the plants back where they belong and get ready for work. We are going a little early (3hrs) so we can have lunch and putter around a little. I want to see what Home Depot and WalMart have for prenniels and bare root plants. The paper said we could plant those now. Spring bulbs, too, I think. Even if spring isn't here to stay I'm going to pretend it is here. Dooley

    Wow, busy busy busy...spring is obviously in the air. I was working in a garden today, dug over their veggie patch and then weeded and tidied their shrub border. Picked the urchins up from school, did some ironing (yuck) fed the sprogs, taxied the eldest to Brownies, came home, finished ironing, went back and collected her, brought them home, got them ready for bed, made supper for the old man and I, then finally sat my bum down, ate tea and chilled. I have so much to do in my own garden, the children are off school next week on half term and I have promised myself some quality gardening time. :)
