Is it leisure or lazy?
I did well to have a few posts written early. Now, I am feeling the pressure. My response to pressure is the urge to procrastinate.
Pictures are always a good save.
It is a misty day here. I work very hard some days, and I am not talking about writing. It is busting through so many accumulated items. I have a rental car this week and I plan to drive up to my brother's house that I have of yet to get ready to sell. I will carry a bathroom cabinet removed from a bathroom I'm having remodeled. I plan to paint the cabinet and replace the collapsing cabinet in my brother's basement bathroom.
The reason I have a rental car is I had a car accident about three weeks ago. It has been a humiliating burden. I need to do so much and it has been a hassle. It has been humiliating in that I am the cause of the accident. I hit an expensive Porsche to boot.

| My small garden in the field in front of my house. I need to put many buckets around the garden to water plants when it gets very dry which it will at the end of May. I plan to mow a bit more and put up a dog kennel with a roof to escape the heat this summer and store a few tools and most importantly my chairs and a small portable table. I hope to write a bit out there. |

| I took this picture to show my apple blossoms. Apples have a hard time in our hot climate. Blight gets the trees. I remember reading about a fruit called a quince. I found that quince is incredibly susceptible to blight like the pear and apple trees are. The remedy for blight is to cut off the affected portion. |

| This is my lilac bush. It smells so good. Not one single dog was there when I first took a picture then six showed up. I think I've got some attention hogs. |

| Lilacs are not native but they are more importantly not invasive. |
Ouch on the car accident. I do hope no-one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteLove lilacs but they are taking over parts of my garden.
No one was hurt thankfully. I have to go to court May 20th. I don't know what my fine will be.
DeleteA lazy day in the garden is an ideal way to deal with a stressful experience. I'm feeling some pressure as well with the blog posts, since it gets harder as the month progresses. X Y and Z? Not sure what I'm doing there.
ReplyDeleteI try to catch up on the weekend. I also read a bit then. Somehow I am still on a Monday to Friday 9 to 5 schedule. I thought I was retired.
DeleteThe dogs are cute; They just want to get into the photo, that's all.
ReplyDeleteI like your "small" garden! I wouldn't be able to keep up with anything that big. Lazy vs leisure. At my age, it's leisure, and I enjoy every minute of it. When I am lazy, I find I don't enjoy it. I think I feel guilty about my laziness - and when I am lazy I don't do anything worthwhile, whereas my leisure is always something I want to do even if others may think I'm just being lazy.
????? Well I understand it if no one else does. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I get what you are saying. I have to stay busy to be happy. I just wish it was more going to the movies and visiting with people. I'm planting a lot of corn. We don't eat that much. But I think it is really pretty.
DeleteI'm very sorry to hear about your car accident - I understand how you feel. I generally view leisure as a choice to do something fun or creative to help balance work and life. Lazy is when I don't feel like doing something I know I should and procrastinate. And those dogs are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your car accident. I know the feeling. Sigh. I've had two accidents and both times... sigh... it was my fault.
ReplyDeleteI write my blog posts two weeks in advance because I just can't stand the pressure.
