Gardening can be very soothing can't it? I admire your skills-- I'm afraid to work with large quantities of dirt. My back yard is all uneven, but I can't figure out how to find dirt, fill it in, get it packed down, and get the grass on top of it again. Plus there's an unwanted tree stump in the middle. It's just too hot and dry right now to do anything except move the sprinklers around to try and prevent irreversible death of all plants.
I've been putting my energy into reorganizing the rooms for now. Today I moved the 'oversized book' bookcases with the art/craft/home/exercise books. Now they're all in one place. Plus changed the phone/ans machine/phone book/notepad area to use a different table-- actually the former stereo stand. So the family room is almost done, except I realize I need to change the lighting in here. Also need something to draw the eye up the high walls. I'm so picky about artwork-- I can't stand anything glass-covered which eliminates most of what's easy to purchase. Perhaps little shelves with a few things? Or wall-hung lighting fixtures? I'll figure it all out eventually.
It's just so nice to be home all day. I'd make a great housewife. Except for the taking care of husband and kids part.
