Suddenly, I realized….

I’m just like my mom sometimes.

I laughed this morning at the realization that I am now frequently in our yard at 5:30 in the morning, in my giant white bathrobe or a pair of sweats (often wearing my big yellow plaid rubber boots!), watering the plants or cutting a flower or just quickly pulling a weed I notice from the kitchen. JUST LIKE MY MOM! At first I was afraid I might be scaring the neighbors, but I think they’ll be okay and really, when’s a busy gal like me supposed to find time to survey the situation of the yard and flower beds and garden if I can’t do things like that in the morning? I may need to find a “stealth” black bathrobe though. Poor Jonathan, just sleeping, unaware of his wife’s potential to be the crazy lady in the neighborhood seen in the wee hours of the morning, wandering in the yard. Hey, at least I’m wearing the bathrobe!

    Kelly dear,
    You will find the yard and garden one of your biggest joys. The good earth. Nothing quite compares. So glad you don’t mind being dressed goofy and enjoying the outdoors.

    Love you a million,
    Mom

    i never thought your mom was crazy for being in the yard in her bath robe. my aunt does the same thing right now. must be a “married lady” thing. hope i inherit the gift when Eric & I get married. I have a great blue robe with yellow ducks on it I know the neighborhood will love!
    see you in August!
