I’m still on a mission to have my garden look better than it did last year and to be honest it’s giving me a run for my money. I’ve walked past it a couple of times these last few days and Wow does it look bad. But I’ve still got hope and my biggest trouble now is all the water that’s in it. I took a picture of me standing in it to show just exactly how much water I’m talking about.
I don’t think I’ll have to water my garden any time soon!
Now this photo is about the water so try not to look at my ugly leg. I had to take the picture holding the camera upside down so I could see using the view finder and I got just waaayyy too much of myself in this one. But I guess it is what it is.
I worked hard to try to get the water out of the garden as much as I could, and I found a spot that I could dig out between the outside wood and I was able to remove most of it.
It was like opening a water spout!
When I was standing in the garden, my flip flop literally got stuck in the mud when I was trying to get out. It was like if you ever went swimming in a river and ended up in a mud spot. You just hated to put your down, but you had no choice. Gross! And as you can just about imagine when I got out of the garden my foot was covered in mud. I tried to wipe my foot off on the grass with what I thought was good luck. But once I got into the house I realized that I kind of just ground the mud into my heel and now what was I supposed to do? So I grabbed one of those Mr. Clean white eraser pads and used it on my feet. And guess what – it worked! Now it didn’t work as good as a pedicure at the Spa, but I also didn’t have one of those Spa girls looking at my foot and then giving me the stink eye either. And it did work better than when I was trying to scrub it off with a cloth so I’m calling it a success. I saw an article once for this product and it said that there was a million uses for it. I’m kind of thinking that there is a million and one!
