A Beautiful Saturday!
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Yes, it is glorious here today! The thermometer on the window reads 70. I took a little walk through my garden. Remember those zebra grasses I was trying to dig out? My two biggest boys got out there today and dug the other two up in just about 15 minutes.

Why didn’t I think of that sooner? (I do love my boys!)
I found a little tiny snail shell while showing the boys where to dig.

Isn’t nature grand?
The garden is beginning to come out. I want to start investing in some plants each week — and working each week to dig out the things that are invasive and that just did not work out well. I am expecting great things!

Some of my daffodils are in bloom!
The spirea — a very large and beautiful border shrub at the front of my garden, blocking the view from the road, has begun to get leaf buds.

See the bright green? I just love it. My garden makes me so happy. My daughter enjoyed getting outside with me for a few minutes before I leave for work. We sell plants at work. Some really cool plants, in fact. We also have chimes, bird houses, etc. I will do some shopping on break.
Last of all, my daughter and I had great fun building “the leaning tower of tea bags.” Can you tell we like hot tea?

Have a wonderful Saturday! We only have today. No promise of tomorrow. Enjoy your life. Love it. (And I don’t mean love your life as in Luke 9:24, but be content and happy with your life.) If you don’t love it, make it better.
