Hold up a minute, need to check and see if I’ve started relaxing and having fun yet. Well so goes life of a “Last Minute Lucy”.

Of course all of us late starters don’t really seem to mind, after initial marathon weekend getting everything in order (ever notice we can’t seem to spread things out) we now have whole summer to sit back and enjoy all our hard work.

Oh, did I mentioned it’s about halfway through summer, sorry just thought I’d remind everyone once again.

I personally do not care how long it takes me to get things done outside, just having opportunity to be outside in warm sunshine is enough (maybe that’s why I take so long, it give me more excuses to be out there). So enjoy all those outside chores and activities, before you know it, it will be time for fall clean up. That by way is only about three months away, so you might what to start thinking about it now.
