The other thing I obsess about

Kevin knows that I sometimes obsess about this blog. I worry about the traffic and the links and if the writing is good. I nitpick to myself about it's appearance and things we should change.

These traits seem to translate well into the garden.

Yesterday I spent enough time out in my garden to warrant a sunburn. Given the weather we've had of late (cool, rainy, cloudy) that's a feat all by itself.

I had the raised beds built in the late winter this year. I've always had veggie garden space in this area of my yard but it's been hell to weed. These stack stone beds work great.

I've discovered sweet peas this year, too. The pastel ones that I planted in the pot are past their peak, but the bold colors are peaking right now:

I've been cutting those flowers for the last two weeks and putting them all around my house. They make my house smell amazing.

And now that the weather is finally warming up maybe my roses will do something. And I really need to weed a couple of those beds.

Obsess. Obsess. Obsess.
