So I've completed my taxes... yaaaay!!! Always a source of stress and
weird eruptions (like I have this zit forming on my chin; I KNOW that's
from tax preparation!), it grants me peace of mind (as opposed to a
piece of my mind. Yes, large chunks of it break off whenever I'm forced
to do financial things which is why I'll never master balancing a check
book. How can anyone in their right mind commit to sitting down and
spending time and more brain cells on something so numbing and
futile?!?!) So taxes accomplished, I'm on to more valuable time
consumers.
Like Spring garden clean up. This, of course, entails
hauling 80 large tarp loads of soggy leaves and spent ornamental grasses
off into the woods. The grasses inevitably torque sideways while
attempting to navigate through any one of our garden gates, which leads
to major events of cursing and re-wedging the grasses back onto the
completely twisted tarp...fun!
At least the garden looks better,
freed of last year's desiccated stalks and seed heads. I feel like I got
the clean up well under way earlier than I sometimes do. I'm ready for
things to start growing!
And I am happy to report that things ARE growing. (Nice shot of the over-wintered indoors plants that didn't die. The begonia that our good friend Bob gave us is blooming it's pants off.) The lilacs have actual flower buds and the daffodils are all budded and starting to burst. A few species tulips managed to not be eaten by (the mother fucking) squirrels and are in hesitant flower. (I think they're cringing and afraid to be singled out and then devoured). But it's shaping up to be a pretty spring.
