I had my jigsaw out, two good sized pieces of plywood, and a gallon of paint. I was all set to make a elf village for my backyard. The Hydrangea garden is nothing but a bunch of twigs and I hated the way the spot looked. My first thought was a elf village, with buildings that were three feet high. Not a small village. I think quarantine has finally gotten to me. Why the heck was I going to build an elf village? I put the jigsaw down and just walked away. Six feet away from the hydrangea garden is a perfectly lovely plant that has beautiful variegated leaves and it needs to be replanted from the pot it is in now. Ten minutes worth of gardening would give the spot the year round interest I have been trying to achieve. I wonder way my first thought is always to pick crazy first. Thankfully I stopped myself.
