Winning The Battle – Losing The War – I’m Not Doing Either

I love a pretty yard and from time to time mine looks pretty good.  Right now, not so much.  Hubby uses the patio as his work space, everything is done there.  Sawing, repotting plants and anything else he chooses to get involved in, so it is usually a pile of stuff that is totally a mess.  

I got everything picked up and cleaned up.  Now I could sit here and have a glass of tea.  Love this.

 Even my bonnet bench by the door was cleaned off and everything he had stashed under it found a home.  This looks so much better.

 That lasted exactly one day and he turned it into this.

 It started with a trip to the nursery to get a few plants for some of the pots.

 Just a few simple little plants – nothing major.

 Now while we were planting those, he moved this pot here because he said we have to dig up the bulbs and save them for next year.  Really?

 A friend gave him this plant, pretty, but why does it have to sit right here?  Oh, I know, it’s because he said it needs to be repotted too.

 These two wok bowls did get planted and they look amazing.

 All I want is for it to look like this again.

Ok, in all fairness to him, he is out there working on it at this very moment.

The mess is cleaned up and this plant is repotted.

These are repotted too – –

and these were grouped together nicely –

 Ok, we’re back to clean on the patio again.  Now to get the yard mowed, weeded, pruned, trimmed – geeeezzzzzz there’s still a lot to do. I better make more tea.
