Yup! Got my fingers in the dang dirt..and loved it! Garden therapy suits me to a "T." Oh...I get a goofy ass smile just thinking about a pleasantly warm day and a plot laid out before me. Wishes..they are good things...they keep hope alive in your heart.
Apartment living means planters and pots, and no real nurturing of the soil, but it helps me a bit with my addiction. Last year the theme was purples and pinks (and that was mainly because they were all they truly had for sale.) This year I am scrounging for some true reds..and damn..pink flowers are everywhere..again!
Cream, purple and red..ahhh..you see the genius of my colors..red-white-and blue. I may have to look further afield for the reds though. I had two very healthy ferns hanging last summer, they were a lot of work, and could not be transitioned into the house, they shed too much. Right now I have my biggest pot (was a tomato pot last year) and the hanging hooks to fill. Slow going because I cannot afford to buy everything all at once.
It has been on the rainy and cool side but I know that summer is coming. Gilly has enjoyed coming outside with me again and sort of expects it now. I have to remind him that he is not going out every time I open the door. There is a limit to how much grass nibbling one cat can do before he barfs. Of course, if he feels it coming he races for the inside and the carpet, and not the yard.
Schedule changed, I have different days off. I have been working every weekend for almost 4 years now, not counting vacation/sick time. This is truly no different from any other job I have ever had, I always worked weekends, sometimes every other. It will be nice to have one day to go to the public events I always missed due to work. Craft fairs, Farmers Markets, Flea Markets...etc. With my job there is no telling when my schedule might switch again, but I hope to have this for at least a little while.
Have a good week and go play in the dirt!
