Taking A Break
Every summer I wish I had more time to spend doing things I wanted instead of the usual rush to get things done. I try to work on my projects, keep up the blog, run Glenns Garden Landscape Services, and manage all the daily tasks at the Urban Garden. It sometimes become very hectic. This weekend I am taking a break and heading to the woodland garden.
This of course may not be the stress reliever that I am hoping for. I use to head out there every weekend and work on the garden and various projects but have only made a couple of trips this year. I may cringe to see the condition and then setup a whole new stress factor to my life!
I really need to rest and not worry about everything but I know that once I get there I will want to start a list and get cracking on the latest project. Which this year I may need a ream of paper to make up. It is just in my nature to want to set things in order.
I do believe that while I had every intentions of keeping the woodland garden in a well maintained state that maybe it should become a more natural area with less formality. This would make it easier to accept the fact that time spent there does not necessarily mean time working there.
As nice as this area looks it does take some time to maintain the grass and keep the weeds and wild woodland plants at bay. I guess I will have to make that decision when I get there. It is very easy to sit back and make up your mind from the comfort of your office but when you actually get to the site and look at the condition of all the hard work you have already invested your mind can be easily swayed from your intended course.
I guess I will find out when I arrive. I will take my camera along to record the good the bad and the ugly and see if I can bring myself to post the pictures next week. Have A Great Weekend and try to get out and enjoy your gardens!
