Last night my sister crashed at 9:00 PM. My brother-in-law went down around 10:00. I succumbed at 10:30. We're nothing but a bunch of old pussies. They're both 62. I'm 58.
We were all tired and sore this morning. It's that old age thing again. Ryan was in the best shape. We spent most of the morning cleaning up. Ryan can prune faster than we can bag, so he didn't do much more pruning. We used 20 bags this year, which was the same that we used last year and we're still not done. They're coming back Easter and we're gonna go back to it the next day.
I've got lots of errands to run tomorrow, but if I finish early enough I'll get back up on the berm and finish with the blackberry plants and plant my 24 creeping phlox plants. My sister wouldn't let me finish that on Saturday. She thought I was goofing off (my hands and back tell a different story) and made me come down and help bag.
It's amazing all the crap we got out of my yard, since it's so small. We got 20 bags of trash last year and we got 20 this year. Ryan is unable to get my super bush down to the right size. It seems to grow as it is being cut. I'm gonna have to hire some people to get it down to the size it should be. Hello Mexicans.
I also need to go out and get about 20 bales of pine straw to spread next week.
It's almost time to prepare my raised beds for the veggie garden. Everything goes in around April 15. It will probably be a tad later because I'm going down to what Velociman told the unsuspecting hotel on Jekyll Island was the Georgia Writers' Workshop. Little do they know that this is a collection of Georgia bloggers (and some honorary Georgia bloggers) and should actually be named the Wreckyll in Jekyll. I won't be able to bail early like I did at the last meetup in Helen. And I hope I don't wake up and find a plant in the bathtub the next morning.
