WH - that is good that you're doing the flower bed!! I have been doing that too, it is great therapy! I worked literally 6.5 hours on one up front that was out of control, I dug that entire bed out, leaving just 3 of those big ornamental grasses, I separated out the weeds from the bulbs and removed all the old junk, then I replanted all the bulbs, the next weekend I hauled rocks up to that puppy and outlined it and made it look all pretty, then the next weekend I went to home depot by myself and hauled 6 bags of mulch home in my trunk and mulched it. Now 2 weekends in a row I go out there and pull out more bermuda grass that keeps popping up. Seriously, it makes you feel good to see the accomplishment, knowing that you're in control of the design and you're not really thinking about your sitch so much, I guess I do some but I do a lot of introspection too and it also gets out excess energy/anger. It's a good workout too. I was exhausted after and slept great. It's nice to change things up too and make it YOUR sanctuary. I really found it to be helpful to do that every weekend, now I look forward to my weekends at home and keep myself fairly busy just doing things around MY house, not our house any more. I just like how it feels to complete a project and know that I did it. so good for you on doing that!!
