I got a little carried away this year, as you can see (the other 1/2 of the flats were out back) ... it took 10 hrs one day & 8 the next day to get all these little beauties into the ground. I tell you I could barely move ... it hurts to sit, it hurt to bend, it hurt to move my fingers, my toes hurt ... all I could do was groan for 4 days.BUT, oh, the beauty that will spring forth shortly from this array of 700 gorgeous colorful flowers. I can hardly wait to show you the 'after planting' pics.
Often your tasks will be many
And more than you think you can do
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember, the hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem
And with faith in your heart start upward
And climb til you reach your dream.
For faith is a mover of moutnains
There's nothing that God cannot do
So start out today with faith in your heart
And climb till your dreams come true.

I can feel my aching back as I look at all those plants, but it will be GORGEOUS in no time.

My goodness, you really put in lots of outdoor labor hours in a short period of time.
ReplyDeleteI too cannot wait to see all of your gorgeous plants in bloom. Isn't a joy working out in the yard?
It is going to be beautiful! I don't know how you did it. I would be hurting all over too! I can't wait to see them.

What a lovely poem and I am so envious that you had time to put all the lovely plants into the ground. This year seems to be flying by and I am getting nothing done, Oh well!!!

Lovely lovely flowers, I know it hurts to plant them but they will give you so much back. Just one little seed gives you months of pleasure. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I have a project lately like painting, etc. the next day I am so sore, usually I take ibuprofen before I go to bed....oh getting older is not fun...LOL!!

Can't wait to see all of your beautiful flowers! I know that is backbreaking work, but so rewarding.
ReplyDeleteTHanks for stopping by my blog. Can't wait to see pics of your beautiful flowers as they get bigger too. I checked out your site....I too love feedsack and have a huge stash of it...I don't sew tho....just love the patterns and colors.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is going to be so beautiful and colorful. You have a lovely blog with so many pretty quilts too.
ReplyDeleteIf I had more yard, I'd have loads of flowers. I'd probably kill them ...but Neighbor Bob would rescue me. :) Can't wait to see them all planted with blooms overflowing.
