I know winter is an excuse to stay inside by the fireside, but I keep thinking I need to tend to things around the home periphery. Landscapes tend to expire this time of year in Virginia.
And there are outside chores you know.
There are two ornamental grasses that should be trimmed back for happy regrowth this spring.
The Canna Lilies have all died and I should tend to them too.
The deck needs sweeping and we need a new bird feeder. A bear mangled the one we are using now so the seeds tend to jam up.
The garage is too cluttered for my peace of mind whilst parking. I prefer pristine organization. Bill doesn’t seem to care though. Never has.
There are old evergreen bushes in the front yard that are brown. Should I terminate them now or wait to see if they revive in spring?
Oh well. The heck with it.
There is always my chair by the fireside.
I tend to migrate there.

Outdoor stuff will wait. Enjoy the fireplace. Come spring you will wish you had time to sit a bit indoors. Unless bigfoot strikes again!

Put everything off! You’re only old once! It’s a matter of two too’s for the garden.
1. Too late.
2. Too bad.
Of course, I’ll be beating myself up for not getting out in the garden earlier. People will still be polite and tell me the garden looks good. This year I think I’ll believe them.

The outdoor stuff has to wait here at our house….we still have snow on the ground. So, I’ll hibernate inside a bit longer just like you. 😉
