Refresher Course

This year I've been less than enthusiastic about gardening chores. (Did you notice I called it "chores"?)
My house guest has had moments of 'need to do something worthwhile' and was pulling and snipping around the plants. That has served me to get reinvigorated about yard work. Between us we have trimmed bushes and she has cleaned up among the plants. Thank you, thank you!
Not to be outdone I went out early and did some cleanup of spent flowers.
I remember now why I like to garden.
