I love to sleep. There may not be anything in the world I like better than a mid day nap on a warm day with a slight breeze. I'll open my window, find a light blanket, dim the lights and drift off to la la land for an hour, or two, and it's sheer bliss. I look forward to the days when my boys are old, and then like to sleep in and I can be one of those moms who doesn't get dressed on a Saturday morning, or Christmas vacation until 11:00 or later. Oh, that will be the day.
The spring has been so cool this year that my tulips have lasted twice as long. I'm having a huge internal dilemma about my flowers. Do I leave my tulip bulbs for the new people to enjoy in the spring or do I dig them all up and bring them with me to my new home? And, what about my peony? I've been taking care of it for almost three years and this year, I think, is the year it's actually going to flower. How do I safely get it out of the ground? I desperately want my flowers but I don't know the best way to transfer and protect them.
This is what I think about when I'm trying to not think about anything else.
Naps and flowers.
And pulling weeds.
I really like to do yard work. I enjoy mowing the lawn and pulling weeds and planting flowers. I do not enjoy grasshoppers or hornets or crickets but I suppose that goes with the territory.
There are so many things I like about what will soon be my new house, but what I'm most looking forward to is having a new yard. A bigger yard with more flower beds, more grass, and for the first little while, enough weeds to pull to keep me busy for a long time.
I may be setting up the yard, before I set up the house.
Oh, I'm excited.
I can hardly wait.

I can't wait to see your new house. I say leave the tulips, take the peony. Go to your new house and dig a big spot where you want it to go. Go to your old house and draw a big circle around the perimeter of the bush, and then dig it all up, keep as much of the root ball in tact as you can. Sit it on a tarp and wrap it up gently to transport it. It will probably be pretty heavy. Get it back in the ground asap and water it lots. It should do well if you do this all quickly and don't cut too many of the roots. xoxo
