A week like a good May week should be. Bright color popping all over. Trees with buds and little green things. The smell of dirt and cut grass. Out of control birds up at 4 am singing all the songs for a good day.It is all the good stuff especially when the world seems like a crap shoot. You feel me?
The week. It was a fast moving one in my mind. Lots of outdoor time (even though my allergies have taken the form of a little troll in my skull and are kicking me in my brain, right behind my eyes, constantly). I cleaned up most of the garden beds, layered down cardboard in the paths that I am going over with in woodshchips (hopefully that will help keep the slugs and weeds at bay), and got rid of a shit ton of busted up tree. Seeds are all started, mustard greens are growing everywhere, and I am slowly seeing the perennials pop up. Every year I get better at remembering what and where I planted shit.
Other then all the fun outdoor chores, the week has been pretty basic. The mr spent all day every day working so I didn’t see much of him again. But I was busy too working on some mug preorders and the such. I also stopped in to see So pogo on her stick, tried to clean my studio but instead made an even bigger mess, biked to the library twice and almost cried when I stopped in at the grocery store and everything went up in price again! Ugh. It is so fucked! Other then that just more normal stuff. Not super eventful but I am ok with that.
Seeing as it is Mother’s Day it is only appropriate that I will be going to see my mother. I think the mr and I are going to head over this morning, go for a walk, drink coffee, and cut down a busted up tree in her backyard . You know, do something nice for the lady. She did birth me after all and what kind of a place this world would be without me. HA! The rest of the day? I was suppose to go for a bike ride with Megan but not sure if that is happening anymore so I will probably stop in and see all my sister moms and their hellions and then with any extra time, yard/gsrden work. It’s that time of year when pulling weeds and getting super dirty is all the fun.
