August, and redifining order-

That doesn't make sense does it? Redifining order in August? It should be the month where you put your feet up, count nonexistent clouds, splash in some water or other, and eat watermelon until you are pink and sticky...Well, it wasn't meant to be this year. Rea is probably doing something of the sort in Greece. But as I told the rest of my clan, if we go away on vacation and come back to this jungle of a garden of ours we will immediately waste all this new found energy on feeling terribly guilty and irritated by it all. But,...if we stay and work on the garden we will feel so good and reenergised , it will be like we have just had a vacation in the Bahamas... Well, the point is that they bought it!....We are staying and taking the third week of August to

redefine our amazingly neglected and terrible looking garden...We are hoping to create the garden that takes care of itself and needs no maintenance- hahahah- so we sill probably put as much gravel as possible and do a stone garden instead-( by the way these are some pictures from the weekend I didn't post before- some of my work, Lucy the visiting cat, and an image from the Little Nest-don't you love those blues?)

The garden aside, I need to do some serious cleaning around the house, as well as some inner psychic cleansing as well, if you know what I mean. I feel like writing pages on end in my journal, making maps and lists of where I want to go and what I need to accomplish and what I need to leave behind. Do you do that sort of thing?

I am not a hoarder, when it starts to feel like we have been accumulating too much stuff I becoome irritated and annoyed, and start getting the garbage bags out...In and out!

But I do have a goodie for you to link up to- I came across Eric Carle's blog- don't you love him?

I found it here...

Have a lovely Tuesday....
