Outside!

Finally... a day to Tend the Earth.

I feel very "behind", but perhaps, I'm not so much. The tomatoes have been in, the beans are NOW in. The strawberries are red, red, red -YUM!

The rosebush is beautiful. The sunflowers and dahlias are now in the ground. The peony is ready to bloom for the first time since we've been in this house. (YES!). A few gladiolas have survived the mole attack, and I'm carefully watching the raspberries and the rainfall.

Mostly, though, I spent some time ridding the vegetable and herb garden of it's grass.

Still have plenty to do there, but I enjoy it. It's essentially mindless work during which I can let my mind wander and God and I can talk.

It's good for me.

I like that!
