Oakville Farm Daylily Blog

I've noticed something about gardening. You set out to do one thing and pretty soon, you're doing something else, which leads to some other thing, and so on. By the end of the day, you look at the shovel stuck in the half dug daylily bed and wonder what on earth you've been doing.  ~Author Unknown

This was sent to me.  Thanks!  Really like it.

Like yesterday ..... began pulling weeds in one flower bed, then picked the tomatoes, fed the goats, fed kitty, walked along the fence in pasture, drove around yard in Gator, rain inside to avoid rain, ate sandwich, watched one episode of Young and Restless, weeding in another area, transplant several houseplants, talked on the cell phone to family,  ran away from goundhog hiding in high grass, then back to original weed patch.  How did I get soooooo side tracked?  And not ONE thing accomplished!  Had lots of fun flitting from one to another, though.  :)


Around 630 AM had  .6" of rain. Everything is nice and soggy.  And so beautiful.  I always like the look after a rain.  Outdoors has such a clean/bright/alive appearance.

So will begin again today.  Not in the original weed patch, that was the mistake yesterday!  New area, with camera in hand.  Not weeding yet either, too wet!!!!  So will photograph a while.  That should keep me more focused.  Love that camera!!!!!

Hope you have a good day.  And until next time, Happy Gardening.
