Weeding and updating

My pc is undergoing an agonizingly slow update so I’m doing this quick post from my husband’s blisteringly fast (note sarcasm) pc.   I totally procrastinated on updating my Windows service pack and now I’m being punished by the IT gods.  My pc decided to totally ignore this whole early daylight savings business and is an hour behind.  There was no manually updating the time so here I am. 

The weather held out as promised and we are having a gorgeous weekend.  I didn’t get quite all the weeding done that I had hoped to but I did do the beds along the front of the house (and therefore with the most visual impact).  I forgot that there are muscles used in gardening that you just don’t use in other activities and since my gardening of late has been more of the dreaming about it variety I pooped out really quickly. 

I left the house on Wednesday afternoon and returned the following afternoon and I swear in the those short 24 hours the pear tree burst into bloom.

This tree suffered a huge tragedy about four years ago in a storm.  Half the tree came down and we were sure we were going to lose the other half but it has made a pretty good recovery.  Still a bit misshapen but all in all still a gorgeous tree. 

I know there is some metaphor in there about being able to recover from even the biggest disaster but I’m too worn out from all that weeding and muckraking to fully formulate the thought.  Instead I’ll just be happy that it is a gorgeous day, the sky is as blue as it possibly can be and I have about a third of the weeding done. 

Well I better go check on my pc before it resets itself to 1973 or something like that.  I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day.
