Outside of my “Normal”-Actual Accomplishments
Dear Readers:
Have you ever had one of those rare occasions when everything you planned for actually went according to plan?
My “To-Do” list has been completely crossed off (for the time being), my chest is puffed out and I know I deserve a treat.
My garden-along with winter’s compost and the load of poop-has been tilled under-ready to receive this year’s plantings.
It’s beautiful dirt and it’s mine.
The broccoli seeds have been started and are already beginning to sprout.
The carrot seeds are just below the surface of this beautiful dirt. (I should probably add, “label the label holders” to my list…).
The lawn has been mowed…
…and fertilized.
The bird bath is filled-ready for Mr. Robin Redbreast and his friends to show it a little action.
The Parsley is sprouting, reminding me to buy some red potatoes and have a yummy meal for Biceps.
The landscaping has been planted. This tiny nubbin’ is hardy lavender.
And the “trees” have been stuck in the earth, fertilized, mulched…
…and laughed at. I mean, they are ridiculously unimpressive. Let’s be real-they are sticks. Geesh-what have I done?…
Except for the disappointment with my “tree-sticks”, it’s been a great past couple of days. The list has been defeated. Time to put my feet up and enjoy a glass of wine.
So, what have you been up to?
Those tree sticks will GROW!! Mowing around sticks for a few years is so SO worth it when they really start to branch out!!!
PS – Your soil rocks my socks…gorgeous poopy soil 😉
Amy-Thanks so much for the encouragement-it was exactly what I needed to hear this morning. I am going to choose to believe what you have said about my tree-sticks. You are awesome. Thank you!
Hey, Rebekah! Your garden looks great! It will be fun to see a photo of the same space 2-3 months from now – what a difference this warm weather will make! I planted a new flower bed w/ cuttings I grew over the winter along w/ 13 new lily bulbs, a new variety of canna, & a new daylily – I can’t wait to see if they all grow. It was a good weekend for gardening to be sure – happy yours was too!
Janice-
It sounds like you had a few accomplishments of your own! Congratulations!!! I would love to see the flowers you’ve planted when they bloom. Good luck and happy planting!
