• Apr. 3, 2009 - Garden Dreams
I have been meaning to start seeds for our garden inside but balmy spring weather beckoned us on walks and soccer games in the park. The seeds should have been planted last month but I finally had time today to get my hands dirty. I don't plan on planting the garden until Memorial Day weekend. Perhaps my tomato plants will grow fast!
We've also been busy with play practice. Christian has the role of Teddy, the little boy, in Rikki Tikki Tavi. The play was scheduled to be performed last Friday but a spring snow storm canceled everything in the Denver Metro area. The play is rescheduled for next Thursday. Trying to work out a new date for the play has been very difficult for all families involved. We are all so busy and overscheduled. Our family alone is busy with homeschooling enrichment classes once a week, piano lessons, and soccer 4 out 7 days this spring. It's a sign that our family needs to slow down so we can have time to do projects that have been on the back burner at home......like plant tomato seeds.
We are awaiting yet another spring snow storm tonight. This morning was just beautiful though. It was sunny and in the 50s. We went outside and looked for signs of spring in the backyard. There is a new finch bird nest under the deck and all our herbs have poked through the ground. We planted a prairie garden last fall and little green shoots are starting to come up. The nice thing about spring snow is the much needed moisture it brings. Around here, it doesn't last more than a few days. The sun is strong and melts it fast.
There is nothing better in this world than the smell of warm, moist earth waking up and the anticipation of verdant gardens.
