I Broke a Spade

Tweet

It's been a tiring day, and once again I couldn't finish much that I had started or had planned. Hubby is sick again today with some respiratory bug and needed lot of help and TLC. He could have done it all had I not been here, but I was there and so he wanted me to find the paper he left in the car with his next doctor appointment. I ran out in my PJ's to get it. Then he wanted me to call for him, but I said I was going to wait ten minutes until my program I was listening to as I made soup was over. He didn't want to wait so he called himself. That was fine with me. The whole day went like that. I did get another pot of soup made because with him sick I thought we might need it. This time it was vegetable beef. I have at least a quart and a half in the fridge and another two quarts in the freezer. I also sampled a couple of mugs full during the evening. Yesterday I'd picked up some Jupiter's Beard divisions from a neighbor, but since we have frost these nights I'm having to cover them at night. I haven't planted them yet. Most are still in a pot of water until I have time to prepare a place for them. I put four smaller plants in a large pot and moved it to the flower bed in the photo. It now sits behind where the daffodil is in the photo. I wanted it to get more sun than it's getting now. I'm also trying to prepare a permanent place for the new plants. That means all that Lamb's Ears in the front of the bed has to go. I thought I'd start the job tonight, but I only got part of that far left clump before my fork spade handle broke. I did what I could to pry the roots up with a trowel, but I ran out of energy. Tomorrow is another day. I don't want to end up in the ER. What have you been up to?
