I was hunting for some of my old notes on trees and shrubs and stumbled upon this poem I had copied a few years back. Poste d this over on Daylily forum and thought ya might enjoy it too since we gonna have another frosty , freezing night. Went out and covered all my shrubs, hopefully they won't get bit tonight. Enjoy!!!

A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A GARDENER’S SPOUSE

She dug the plot on Monday-
The soil was rich and fine,
She forgot to thaw out dinner-
So we went out to dine…
She planted roses Tuesday-
She says they are a must,
They really are quite lovely,
But she forgot to dust…
On Wednesday it was daises-
They opened up with the sun,
All whites and pinks and yellows-
But the laundry wasn’t done…
The poppies came on Thursday-
A bright and cherry red,
I guess she really was engrossed-
She never made the bed…
It was violets on Friday-
In colors she adores,
It never bothered her at all-
All the crumbs upon the floor…
I hired a maid on Saturday-
My week is now complete,
My wife can garden all she wants-
The house will still be neat!
It’s nearly lunchtime Sunday-
And I cannot find the maid,
Oh no! I don’t believe it!
She’s out there WITH THE SPADE!!!

Sounds like ME!!! My husband got us cleaningladies, because I am working in the front yard ALL day!!
May I copy your poem and email it to my husband? He'll get a kick out of it!

Sue help yourself to it. The person who wrote it had posted it to share with everybody.
