It has been a slow start this year but things are finally starting to happen in the garden. I have lots of projects going on outside (my husband calls it crazy, I call it ambitious), but I simply can not contain my sheer joy at being outside on our little plot of land, laying down more roots. There is something so soul-satisfying, so good and so right, about digging in the dirt. After a day of working and playing in the garden, my back hurts, my arms hang nearly limp at my side, more dirt has worked itself into its permanent summer home under my nails, and my heart and my head are at peace and at rest. Oh the good, good earth.

This weekend we're going to (finally) prepare our garden beds. Next weekend I'm going to plant, no matter what (I know the beds will need more time than that to settle, but I don't care at this point. It's time to get planting!) Your garden has really inspired me and pumped up my enthusiasm. Gosh, I can't wait to get outside and get my hands in the soil!
This is wonderful! I am so happy for you and your lovely plot. Everything looks so great - and green!
