I’ve been a little out of pocket the past days, which has meant very little time for me to spend on the computer. In fact- aside from the ‘eye’- I haven’t used the computer much at all. Our days have been jam packed with various activites and it seems as though one day is running into another with the blink of an eye- At least we are getting some things accomplished!
Yesterday I cleaned out the fountain – scrubbed it with some bleach water and then added new water, submerged the pump and started it up. It worked like a charm and the bubbling sound always makes me smile and seems so peaceful. While it was running- I planted most of what will be my herb garden this year (with the exception of the two plants I thougt I bought, but obviously forgot). This year I’ve got- Sage, Basil, Oregeno, Dill, Rosemary, Lemon Balm and Celery leaves. I still need Mint and Chives, but I’ll get them when I go back tomorrow and pick up the rest of the flowers.
There is something about planting a garden and watching it grow that brings joy to my life. Just like last year- I chose all bright colored flowers- simply because brights are my ‘thing’. I’m sure you’ll get to see pictures in the very near future- as the fruits of my labor begin to blossom.
There is something so satisfying about growing one’s own. I can always guarantee that I “Forget” something when I intend to shop…always I come home without something. It is on the list, just in the distraction of the day or the outing, I simply “miss”. LOl I so relate to this.
