Re: my gardening season

Gardening Fairy strikes again.  How kind of your neighbor.  And very
thoughtful.
I know exactly how you feel.  Last night I was so overwhelmed. I am so
BEHIND in everything right now. April and May it RAINED (23 days of rain)
Almost every single weekend for the last two months have been consumed with
family funerals, travel or family in the hospital.  Weekends are the ONLY
time I have to get caught up.  My gardens look like h*ll.  I don't even want
to go HOME right now cause I get so fed up and frustrated.  If I could find
somebody to help me do the deep cleaning - I can spend my time putting
things away and putting stuff back in place.  Even my bedroom - which I
normally keep so clean, is cluttered with boxes from my sister's
house...photos, momentos, junk - that my mother gave me to sort through.  I
haven't even had time to do that.
