Exhausted in a really good way

I have spent most of the last 9 months feeling really tired. But today was the first time in a long, long time that I have felt really tired in a really good way. The kind of tired you feel from spending the weekend digging in the dirt and working outside in the sun. A natural, normal kind of tired. It's nice.

I'm pretty ignorant about flowers and bushes and green stuff, but for some reason I really like planting things. So that's what I spent the weekend doing. I think the thing I like about yard work is that it doesn't really HAVE to be done. If I get bored with it I can just stop. If I feel like it, I can even take a nap in the shade. Most other work isn't like that.


Because I was busy doing the hard stuff, like planting flowers, Mathilde got to mow the lawn.


I have no idea what kind of bush this is, but it's pretty cool.



Hmm... I wonder if this says anything about where this blog is headed - posting pictures of lawn-mowing and pretty bushes? Maybe next weekend I'll paint something and post a picture of it drying.

Anyway, it was a really good weekend. And I'm happy-tired.
