Let's get the Garden Going? Not on Days Like Today

I wanted to do some gardening today but the weather is just not letting me get out there. ok, that's the excuse I am using for now!! Well, it is windy and it is cold, but if I really wanted to garden I suppose I could. The weather has been so miserable that it doesn't take much to keep me indoors.
The only that that has been growing well lately are the election signs on all the lawns. They are popping up all over. I guess I should not complain since i have three NDP signs in the front yard. Well, one on the lawn and one each on both the fences around the front area of the house. Huge, orange signs that let the world know that we are supporters of the NDP in this house.
Well, I mean who else are we going to vote for anyway? There is Steven Harper who we are all not happy with; or Micheal Ignatiff (?) whom we don't know; or Jack Layton who is a good man with clear and truthful feelings for us all.
The one thing I want to stress over everything else is that it really doesn't matter who you vote for as long as you GET OUT AND VOTE. But if you vote NDP, I won't be upset!! lol
I seem to have gotten off the topic of gardening haven't I? Well, just as well i guess. Not much to talk about. Thursday and Friday look as though there will be no rainfall and my granddaughter is coming over for the weekend so maybe I can convince her to help me get some work done. As long as I get the bed cleared out and the lawn raked so that the lawn food can get spread, that will be good enough for me. That should be worth a trip to Tim's for an ice-cap!! Maybe next week I will have more to say about the subject.
At that time I will be starting to make plans for a trip out west that I am taking with someone special around the 20th of August. Going to be gone for three or four weeks so I will be enjoying myself and not worrying about the lawn, or writing, or anyone else s problems. Probably the last holiday I will be taking in my lifetime so I will be making the most of it.
