I was in the garden today planting and weeding.  It was wonderful. I went and bought additional plants yesterday. Luckily I only spent 92 dollars.  G—, I love gardening.  It is such a Zen experience to get out and play in the dirt. Today is the last day of my vacation and I return to the real world tomorrow.  Oh well, it was great while it lasted.  I only have to work 7 days in November so I should not complain.  I have lots of work to do on my back yard so I will take pictures when it looks better. Vacation totals 57 tasks on my list , completed 14, voting once, art none, cleaning minimal. Time away from work, priceless.
