Getting No Where Fast

I don't know how time goes by so fast.  I discovered years ago if I had a project planned and had to leave the house "just to pick up a few things I really needed" the day was gone. How does that happen? I planted some WS seedlings out today but needed more soil to fill in an area of the bed that had settled a little too much. Naturally while I was out, it made sense to pick up the groceries while I was at Walmart to get the soil. Next I realized I was hungry so off I went to have something to eat. I remembered I needed to go by the tag office to check on the tag for the Lexus. I was able to get a temp tag so had to stop by the insurance agency to pick up a binder form showing coverage until I get the title for the car. Whew.........day gone. By the time I got home, DH was home from work (early) mowing and weed eating the yard.  

This week has been a really perfect weather week, no rain and on the cool side for this time of year.  It won't be long before the heat will take all the fun out of gardening, except mornings and rainy days. The back garden is starting to show some progress (I didn't say great progress, but some).   I am so disgusted by the bermuda grass in that front flower bed! I almost feel like giving up and turning the area over to DH for grass and yard......ALMOST.  If I have good weather next week, I will remove everything I can from the bed and spray it with Round Up. It's that bad. 

Things were getting a little dry so watering was in order late this evening. I may have to start watering the veggie garden more as it seems to be "standing still". I found a video clip today on "How to Install Garden Drip Irrigation". How easy this looks. I will definitely be trying this in the back garden.

I drove the Lexus tonight to pick up some things I forgot to get at the grocery earlier today (senior moments are becoming regular visitors). What a fun car to drive!
