Yippee...i got all my orders cut and packaged early yesterday so Sophia, Ty and i went for a little walk. I have been really wanting to lately but have been so busy! We went down by the lakewalk and stopped to enjoy the rose garden. We saw a train, and some local wildlife..she wasn't too interested! I hope you all find time to enjoy your summer days they don't last long.
I have always dreamed of having my very own garden. It seems romantic to plant some seeds and tend to them. How wonderful to have fresh veggies that you watched grow. And how rewarding to harvest your side dishes! My favorite are the snap peas and the beans! Those garden carrots don't even compare to the store bought variety. Well i can dream all i want but i don't think i will have a real garden anytime soon. I don't think my landlord would take too kindly to me tilling up the front yard. Then again maybe he wouldn't mind, he would have to mow the lawn less. Maybe i should ask!
I do have my own little garden this year. Christy gave me this Basil in a Bag from Crate and Barrell for my birthday! It is growing amazingly fast. So i guess i will have to rely on the produce section for my fresh veggies this year However i can look forward to some amazing spaghetti sauce! Or maybe something else...any suggestions?
I almost yelled at the TV tonight when the weatherman said we are in for another snow storm. From 6-10 inches...are you kidding me! I am not sure why we live in the northern tundra! It is April... and apparently spring! I guess i shouldn't complain, things could be worse. I still have about half a foot of snow in my front yard and now there will be more. Well it should melt quickly! I just read a study done by Harvard about how having flowers around is linked to happiness. It stated that "women feel more compassionate towards others, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when fresh cut flowers are present in the home." It sounded kind of cheesy at the time, but I think i can attest to that fact. I got some pink tulips from my friend this weekend! They make me smile, every time i glance their way. Their constant reminder that Spring is on the way does make me happy! So even though the snow is starting to pile up outside, at least it is Spring in my kitchen!
