(w)restling rebar & roses

(w)restling rebar & roses
apparently, this is what i wear when i garden. i was coming back in to get my wiresnips & even surprised myself. and even more apparently, this is what finally gets your children to say "hey, just wait in the car, mom. i will go in and get it for you."

i got two more of my rebar obelisks for my roses made. picture me on a ladder in a thunderstorm with a hammer in my hand. tempting fate? i think yes. but, scratch that off my list. here is one of them.

i also pulled out huge sunflower stalks which were serious miniature trees out of the potager beds and bundled them. note to self: pull sunflowers out early before they grow up to be cowboys.

yesterday will be like today and today will be like tomorrow. clouds, scattered thunderstorms, slivers of sun & blue, wash and repeat. it doesn't get better than this...and this is our tendayforecast.

after you wrestle rebar & roses, demons are mere cupcakes.

Well, maybe it's because I garden in similar 'eclectic' outfits but I think you look cute as a bug! At least YOU'VE got the youth and beauty to pull it off!! :D

OMG..you look adorable! You've got the hat, the boots and a comfy outfit. What's not to love??

The obelisk is perfection. If it keeps raining you may need to add an addition to the top of that thing. :-)

Your weather is just like ours. I don't think I touched my umbrella for the last 2 years..and now I take it with me every day. Your garden is a marvel with all that green. Great, isn't it!!
