I'm just going to share my little happy today - I bought my house last fall. The previous owners had made the yard lovely, but age and ill health lead to several years of it not getting the care it needed.
Now, along comes me, who has lived in apartments and condos for years and wouldn't know a weed from a tulip. I was overwhelmed trying to figure out where to even start.
Thanks to a gift from my mother (yeah, Mothership!), I was able to hire a landscape crew to get everything up to snuff. There is still some stuff to do (areas I didn't have them work on, like the two giant shrubs that give me nightmares and are getting cut down soon), but overall I get to maintain and start planting.
I'm feeling much, much better about taking care of the yard the way it deserves.
I'm so happy, I want to walk around and enjoy it (even the stinky-ness of the mulch) but I still have a couple of hours to work.

But squee!!!
You know that good feeling? Keep it up and some day, maybe not soon, but some day, you will get a whiff of fresh mulch and think "Mmmm."
Nurse Cramer had stopped speaking to Nurse Duckett, her best friend, because of her liaison with Yossarian, but still went everywhere with Nurse Duckett since Nurse Duckett was her best friend....Nurse Cramer was prepared to begin talking to Nurse Duckett again if she repented and apologized.
