Smiley :D

Hmmmmmmmmm what a day what a day what a day :)
The back of my neck is sunburned. I couldn't be happier. However, I do plan on using sunscreen tomorrow.
I spent the most tremendous day gardening with my mother. We lopped the top off our weeping mulberry bush so it looks like an amazing piece of modern art, and then we started on the backyard. Tomorrow we'll go pick up free mulch at GAWCC, and then start edging the beds. We're in control and on track in terms of landscaping this year, and it feels good. Why the sudden obsession with gardening? It makes me feel good. I like the feel of the sun, the exercise of using the rake, bending to pull up deadfall, and pruning new growth. I love the smell of the cut plants, and the new earth between my fingers. It's all just one big sensory smorgasbord.
Pictures to come, kids. I promise.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh gardening!! Joy! Sunburn! Love! Happiness! What more could we want?!

(we could want school to end, but lets not ruin the moment..)

This truly sounds like the most perfect day. I'm jealous. I haven't been in the soil yet this year.
