not a morning dog, let me sleep in

I’m not a morning person. Dharma is not a morning doggie.

Dharma is not a morning dog.

Nevertheless, we went outside and pulled weeds — along with Merida — for the biggest part of the day yesterday.

The previous barndo owners were decades younger and it shows.

I mentioned yesterday that one of the flowerbeds here is large. Today, I measured it. It’s 48 feet long and 6 feet wide. And there’s about 3 times that much waiting to be landscaped in addition to that space.

There’s NO WAY I can keep up with all that… especially in addition to all the mowing and weed eating around here. We girls just don’t have that much energy anymore.

Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna matata has a connotation of not worrying about things outside of a person’s control. It’s fitting in this instance, even though I’m not Swahili, because concrete edgers will be delivered tomorrow. Of course, it’s supposed to rain (again!), but I’ll get those edgers placed whenever.

The weather — along with about everything else in life — is out of my control. 🙂

Now you know: The first African American woman to win an Oscar, Hattie McDaniel in 1939, wasn’t even able to attend the premiere of the movie she preformed in because it was held at a whites-only theater.
