Gardening "work"...

Maybe you call it "yard work" or perhaps "lawn care" or "gardening". I like to use the gardening word or even just "diggin' in the earth". To me it evokes images of running though the tomato plants as a child, feeling the slightly scratchy plants against my bare legs, or pulling a fresh carrot out of the ground and rinsing it under the hose before eating it raw. Dad used to get so mad that we'd eat all the peas before he had a chance to get at them...

This week I managed to mow the very wet grass. I also did all the trimming work and weeded all the beds. I still have to plant the bulbs and I'll do that the next sunny day. Or Sunday if we haven't had a sunny day before then. I love spring flowers so I have to plan ahead!
