this weekend

This weekend has been trying to get caught up.  I have to admit these are my least favorite types of weekends.  I need to go to the grocery store.  Actually, I went to two.  The farmer's market and libraries.  I cleaned a bit but not enough. 

And I spent some time in the garden.  We have had so much rain and heat while we were gone and last week that the weeds are overwhelming.  I got the little bit of grass we have cut and I started on pulling weeds.  I also started on cleaning up spent plants.  I did shake out all the seeds I could find. 

Before I know it, it will be time to start a winter garden.  It is hard to believe because of the increase of heat in July but late August, it is time to think about it.  That is only six weeks away.  If I can get some of the clean up started now, it may not be quite so overwhelming as usual.  Maybe I can get Small Mister to help me.  He likes power tools, especially change saws and weed wackers, but he is not so sure about putting his hands in dirt.
