We've Only Just Begun

I was humming these lovely Karen Carpenter lyrics as I was raking out the perennial beds this afternoon. I made the mistake of stepping out into the yard to enjoy the sunshine and found myself bending over to yank out a few dead daylilly stems. As you can imagine, one thing led to another and the next thing I knew, I had shed my jacket, gotten out the rake and clippers from the garage and went to work. Two hours and several huge piles of debris later, I realized that I was going to be one sore garden gnome tomorrow!Now, it only remains to decide where to put all this debris. Last year's compost is full and I need to start a new one.Ah well, that's tomorrow's dilemma. I think I'll just sit down and knit for a while. "-)
