That is a lot of water. We have been getting rain everyday, but our bad weather is coming tonight. Tornado watch, flooding and high winds.

The junk is another matter and one Carl & I are going to have to agree to disagree on, I guess. Projects and keeping stuff for 'some day' are very tempting combinations. I was amazed to find I'm not alone with this dilemma.

Your gardens are so beautiful and moving flowers into where they can be gotten to easier is a good one. I am glad you got the water situation a little better as far as your basement goes. Rain is the word of the day here too. I am mudding in new plants which I do not like to do in this old clay soil.Guys just do not look at clutter and projects the way a women does.LOL! He is a keeper though so compromise is a woman's lot. LOL!

Hang in there, sunny skies are around the corner (I hope). I'm glad you have a grip on what you need to do anyway. Cutting back sounds like a good idea. Your quarry garden is so amazing it's time to cut back on the work time and start enjoying it! We are at the same conclusion here. There's just never enough time to do anything fun, we're always working!<br />Sometime I need to realize my lofty goals just aren't panning out.Lisa Sall - Sall's Country Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729015228245019482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-71445847761927394222011-04-26T21:28:59.317-05:002011-04-26T21:28:59.317-05:00Oh, we are all in the same boat, aren't we?

Just make a list of what needs to be done and start whittling away at it. I have several lists. It is overwhelming at times, but then I have to stop myself and try to enjoy the "process" of whittling away at the list. Think about how far you've come, too.Toni - Signature Gardenshttp://signaturegardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-85289374069732756892011-04-26T19:10:43.315-05:002011-04-26T19:10:43.315-05:00Karen,

We need to clear the clutter. My shed is so full of construction scraps one can barely get inside. Thought when a project comes up I get rid of some of it and add something else back to it.<br /><br />Our gardens need help weeds are taking over three huge beds, today I found a 4 ft tall mulberry tree in one bed.

I love the rock gardens but how do you move them without a backhoe? (or some machine?).<br />Your story about you and your husband is so much like mine.. Mr.N hates to do any work around the house or garden. He would rather hire someone.. and that drives me nuts! My sister told me that it's my fault because I showed him early on that I could do it all.. haha<br />Love your property and how beautiful it will be in the summer.<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652526316321305796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-69148980678779966742011-04-26T14:39:22.644-05:002011-04-26T14:39:22.644-05:00Thanks for identifying my disease I now know ...Thanks for identifying my disease I now know I have GADS.<br />Your garden is fantastic but I understand the need to rethink how big it should be to be able to maintain..Harder to keep up as one gets sorer knees..

I spend a day weeding and then two days complaining about how much my knees and back hurt.<br /><br />I used to be a bit of a junk hoarder as well, but a few years ago I just went cold turkey, we got a dumpster and cleaned out a lot, and even got some guys in to haul stuff away, then we moved, and got rid of even more. I just had to realize that I was never going to make the stuff I imagined with the junk I had. Once I admitted that to myself it was easy.<br /><br />My garden was unmanageable too. It's just right now. And I'm a lot happier. I'm determined not to go back.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-64952821265946202172011-04-26T14:30:24.413-05:002011-04-26T14:30:24.413-05:00I had to laugh about you and Carl and how you view...I had to laugh about you and Carl and how you view your "stuff". Larry thinks I have too much stuff, but he has as much or more than I do. I have to duck his masses of clothes hung up on pipes in the basement when I go to do laundry or get something out of the refrigerator. <br /><br />I have drastically reduced the number of garage sales I go to, and am in the process of getting rid of some things. <br /><br />Your flower beds are way more ambitious than any I will ever try to come up with.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.com
