Week-end Yard Work? Please Rain!

In a moment of foolish weakness I said I was going to do some yard work this weekend. This was before I decided I wanted to relax after my 55 hour week. It's not the number of hours I worked, I used to do 70 every week, it's because I'm up at 4 a.m. and I go to bed at 11 p.m. - Ouch! I do need to go to Lowes and look for my 3rd Persian lime tree. The last 2 trees died from late season frosts this really torqued me off. It's the one tree besides the naval orange and Ruby Red g-fruit trees that I wanted. I just found out last week that Persian limes do best in containers that can be taken in during a frost because "they don't survive well in a frost in Florida" like, say, my baby Clementine orange tree? That lived and it was 1/4 the size of the lime tree. I also promised that I'd help plant 2 rose bushes (they do smell nice) and a Hibiscus (don't hold me to the spelling) as well as clean out the shed in the back of the house. On the bright side, rain is in Sunday's forecast! Pillow, give me pillow!
