gardening

I have a complicated relationship with gardening, the type of relationship that I imagine people who run must have with running... 

(my relationship with running is not complicated...in fact we broke up a long time ago)... 

I start with plenty of motivation and excitement to get out there and get going...

I gather my shovel. my hoe, my wagon and off I go...

 

Only to get 10mins in... 

I am sweaty, winded, and starting muttering under my breath...

20mins in I am nearly in tears....

I hate gardening...

stupid weeds... 

stupid dirt... 

It is all going to grass!

 

 

45mins in  I look back... wow.. what a difference...

the garden looks so good...

maybe I'll keep going...

 

 

so far this year I am managing this giant yard better than any other year,

no panic attacks...

yet...

in fact I feel like I am making progress...

It is helpful that these 3 crazies are pretty good at filling their time...
