A Beautiful Saturday!

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Yes, 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!

February daffodils

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.  :)

I can bring home the bacon…

but I brought seaweed instead.  :lol:

Dulse is a great source of iodine and many minerals.  It can be added to salads, soups, stir-fry, or just snack on it!
