Enjoy

I'm sorry for the delay, and while I feel like I say that all the time around here, the real truth is that I've just been enjoying our early spring...taking trips to the zoo, playing outside, enjoying the breeze and the sweet smell of sun screen on tiny limbs. It's 80 degrees most days, and when that happens in March, we take advantage.

Living in a farming community has really changed the way I look at things, it has given me the itch to cultivate and grow and nourish my family with home grown foods. I'm itching, literally, to begin my vegetable garden and Frank passed on advice to me from a farmer he had lunch with. "Planting early will bite you in the ass". I'm trying, really and truly trying, to take the advice of people who really live off the land, people who have done this for generations and know much better than I. But oh, I've got tanned skin, my freckles are out in full force, trees are flowering and my plants are coming up and the feel of dirt under my fingernails just feels so right.

I'm going to try my best to heed the advice of the wise and not plant, but trust me on this, I will be outside every second I can. Because, since I'm such a good listener, I will trust that the frost is comin', and this sunshine needs to be taken advantage of. 

See you when it rains, little blog.
