This wonderful gardener's outfit reminds me of my mother in so many ways. She always wore jumpers and she never lost her love of digging in the garden. I take after her in many ways, preferring to do things myself rather than hire someone. My two-day mowing marathon this week is a good example. I honestly thought I had waited too long between mowings and wouldn't be able to handle the growth with my walk-behind mulching mower. I considered calling someone for help but decided to try a couple of rows myself first and found it to be pretty easy and the rest is history. I'm looking forward to a lazy day today as my reward with some Acorn TV. It has already spritzed rain several times and the sky is gloomy but I am cheerful. Cheers! [Update: I wrote the text for this post this morning and after lunch the sun came out and I was able to work outside on some weeding projects.] xo

The woman in the picture reminds me of my grandmother. I never saw her in anything other than the dresses she made herself. I was fortunate to have been able to spend a lot of time with her and her love of gardening continues to influence me today. Thanks for sharing this picture with us, Rosemary!
Thank you for your uplifting post. I love gardening too and do it all by myself rather than employ a gardener. You do deserve a day of rest after the hours spent mowing the lawn. Sit back and enjoy your beautiful garden.
