Naptime!

   A couple of weeks ago, I was ambitious to the point of wearing myself to a frazzle.  I had so much energy stored up due to still being in isolation...yep...still.  While the world is moving...I am stuck.  That being stuck on the Bayou led me to believe I could redo the yard and the Little Bayou House singlehandedly.  Guess what...that is stupidity at its best.  I was going from 4am to well past 10pm.  Great progress was being made until I nigh on collapsed with sheer exhaustion.  Since then, life has come to a grindingly slow pace.  It is not fun being lazy, my friends.  I am not wired that way.  Now, although my brain says "Go!", the body is like "Nope...not happenin'."  I am having to listen to the body.

  I did manage to wander the hillside again late this afternoon despite of the stifling heat.  I wanted to go back behind the greenhouse to check the wild yucca plants as there were two ten foot tall shoots that were full of buds.  I knew it was time for them to be opened and I was in hopes of getting a photograph of this marvel.  Well, I got my picture but I had to laugh.  My yucca blooms were in just about the same shape I am.  They are tired.  

  The wind and rain from the storms of a few days ago knocked both heavily bud-laden stalks over.  The two were laid neatly onto the wheelbarrow that was still left where I last worked.  I admit...I was lazy and did not retrieve the wheelbarrow.  That will wait for another day since now it is being used as a resting spot for the lovely yucca blooms.  Don't mind them.  The yucca plants will be ok...they just needed a nap!
