I've noticed that for the last couple of days, I have been mostly dealing with piles...
I now have a pile of books to start studying.
I have a nice pile of ironed bedlinen and clothes to put away.
I have a pile of wood in my garden waiting to be assembled (watch this space...)
This little pile has been stitched together and I have paid for it dearly: the hours I have spent with my head bent over in front of my sewing-machine have caused the most almighty spasm in my neck and shoulders, which has necessitated in me having to take lots of strong medication.
I have sorted out my piles of seed packets and got cracking on sowing them. I am very late in doing so this year - I will blame it on the weather, in true English style.
My greenhouse now looks almost respectable with piles of trays and pots full of vegetables and flowers of all kinds.
I am looking forward to piles of freshly picked salad all summer long.
My tulip beds have piles of blooms out. Forget-me-nots are so easy to underplant tulips with - I just shake the seed-heads after flowering wherever I want them the next year.
And looking out of my conservatory windows, my clematis montana alba, has piles of buds on it just waiting to explode into a froth of white...
Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteIf I had to prioritise these I'd start with the sewing then move to the garden.
PS when you start to sew take a deep breath and drop your shoulders as you exhale. It stops neck spasms. Do it frequently.
Strewth! (as we say here in Oz).
ReplyDeleteI wish my piles of stuff were that organised. In fact you have inspired me to have a pile sorting day!
I think all your piles seem very positive!
ReplyDeleteI hope your piles are decreasing!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge pile of dirty washing..but ironing..what's that? virtually non-existent here LOL :O)
Your clematis is so beautiful!

hope your neck is feeling better today! love all those photos, you've accomplished lots, with the promise of more to come. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of productive piles!
ReplyDeletePlease don't show any more pictures of tidyness - at the moment I prefer pictures of chaos. I can relate to those.
ReplyDeleteTake care of that neck.
Stacks...piles...Everything seems very tidy and beautiful here...you're going places--think of the stacks that way! ;o) Hope you're neck isn't hurting...Oh, and LOVE the sweet, white clematis. Happy Days ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI hope your neck is feeling better now! We were sowing seeds this weekend too - it just felt like the right thing to do.
ReplyDeletethe plants in the greenhouse are most inspiring-don't you feel clever for having been so green fingered? I have done the same, just need to remember to water them all now...I love the piles of seed packets!x
