The Early Bird...Not

Here I am, writing after midnight again! I just can't seem to squeeze enough hours out of a day! I've always been a night person, which I drastically want to change. I think being a morning person is part of being a gardener. Up with the sun, birds chirping, dew on the leaves, coffee brewing while pulling weeds...I love the imagery until it's actually 6 a.m.! No matter how hard I try, I can't get to sleep earlier than midnight, and rarely get up before 7. With school back in session, I'm getting up by 7 a.m. to get Ryan, my youngest, off for the day, but I can't get myself moving early enough for that private, quiet time!

Weeding is on my to-do list, but I've been putting it off because of the heat. And you know that while everything else may be sluggish right now, the weeds are growing like, well, weeds! So why was I shocked when I looked out the window today and saw weeds nearly swallowing a hosta? I've got some serious work to do, so I may have to force myself to do the 6 a.m. wake-up. That way, I'll get the work done before the heat sets in. Dread...

It rained again today, so the weeds should be easy to pull. I think I'll try to sleep, hence to weed!
