Wednesday, April 11 - Today I went out in my vegetable garden to weed my strawberries as well as water my cool weather crops. The lack of rain in our area has been a big concern. We are 5 inches under the norm in regards to rain water which I am sure this is due to the small amount of snow we had this winter.
Also, with the low level of rain water, we have been warned we are in a "Red Alert", as the combination of high winds and no rain has caused the concern of forest fires to occur.
As I started to weed part of my garden, I was reminded of a visit from a good friend who stopped by over the weekend. He asked if he could see my garden and as we approached this area, he smiled and said, "This is were Dreams are Made". I replied, "yes, this is my DisneyWorld". We both laughed and then began to discuss the various seedlings which have begun to pop thru the soil.
I thought more of his comment today, and have to agree, that yes, this is what I enjoy the most during the spring time. Working in the garden is so relaxing, therapeutic, and provides a great means for me just to think about what is going on in my day to day life. I often think about what the yields will be once I begin harvest my summer crops.
Over the weekend I plan to take some pictures and post how my cool weather crops are doing. Also, after dinner, my two friends returned, a male and female blue bird stopped by and sat on my sheppards hook while the other birds were eating.
What a great way to end my day seeing these two beautiful birds back for a visit.
