The Garden Math Says...

I did The Math on The Garden. Math's not my thing. Numbers are obstinate. They stay as numbers. Not like History. It can often be a maybe/but/perhaps. Anyway...

for the past two weeks... and this explains my absence from this blog... I have planted over 100 plants, shrubs, a few bush-lettes and a tree too... without the darn partridge OR the pear. Here's A List...

30 box-woods

32 lavander

6 viburnum

2 corbezzolo

1 alloro

1 olio fragrance

1 ligustro

1 nespolo

18... name escaped me

2 lillac

1 hydrangea

1 boule de neige

5 conefirs 

and...

1 cherry tree.

TOTAL = 102
My destroyed hands can show much of this trial. One with Corn-husker's!!!

I have also yanked, re-planted or, potted over 30 plants. Many COMPLETELY incinerated by the EXTREME COLD of last February. I'll dispense with The List of the Victims. 

I've a been furiously working to finish this Spring-time Task before Monday of next week when, I will climb a scaffolding to paint Our New Blue... a lovely Han Blue in the Salotto & Sala and a water repellent Cream in the Cucina. I suspect a week and a half will be necessary to do The Job... if I can manage to NOT FALL OFF the ladder. 

Not a day after The Painting Chore has been stricken off My Task List, up will come The Time to Move... furniture from the antiques dealer, even more from our two jammed-packed garages in Genoa and still more from a friend's house after an estate sale she held.

The rest of the Summer, I intend to read books in My Garden... something I feel I deserve... surrounded by...

A) My Dogs

and...

B) You.
It is this that I bought the darn place!!! Gads.
