wha, too much work! what is a speria ?

I am too tired to do more weeding and planting so I am done for the day. Glorious out but my old bones have had it. I did a lot of transplanting and dividing as I planted a few new gems as I weeded and raked each bed that I planted in for yet another time. I thought I was done when I left 2 weeks ago, but I should have known better. I have a couple more days of this final spring cleaning to do. I thought I would plant lilies today, but am holding off until the weeding is done. DH worked on the endless stream as he is sure we have a leak. He drained it and dug up a bunch of it, but I was afraid to get involved with "his project". Too many cooks in the kitchen. Patti
