No Time Like the Present or Future

I have been away from my desk the last few days as the garden has been calling me and it has a very loud voice. I have a shade garden, herbaceous borders, two front gardens and a vegetable patch, as well as various planters and window boxes. It's made me tired to write never mind looking after it all. My strong right arm has developed a strange pain in guess what? his right arm which needs lots of rest and bi-weekly physio visits. How unfortunate and just in time for the summer! So add to my list of to-doos, grass cutting. Not to worry, it is all a blessing if you look at it the right way. First of all there is that lovely fresh air only slightly tainted with smog, we are in Aurora after all. Sunshine is also free just don't overdo it, skin cancer and cataracts come lightly to mind. There is also the pleasure of sitting in the garden enjoying the breeze and the scent of the lilac and lily of the valley which were beautiful this year. The strong right arm is very happy to help in garden appreciation it's one of his finer qualities. I shouldn't make too much mock of this, the poor man has to be driven everywhere as we have a car with a shift and his nerves are just shot to pieces so he really does need the garden. This week a new bed has to be put in as the perennials are bulging at the seams and then there is the herb patch that has to be transplanted,I could go on and on and on...Oh I forgot it's all exercise and add to that my trips to the gym, well I'm just too fit for words! The best is last as strong right arm has a perfectly good left arm and has offered-wait for it -to WEED! Now there is a job I detest so it has all worked out very well. The Universe wasn't laughing at me after all.
