"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced"
- Kierkegaard
Well it was a great day to be alive. Seems the weather was quite cooperative, the kids at school didn't make me reach for a bottle of Jack Daniels by 3:30, and traffic was kind on the road today. Nothing to complain about- and that's a beautiful thing!
Visited my garden today and guess what I found?
Yup- those are teeny tiny little cucumber and onion plants making their way into the world. Come on out, little ones- and jump in my belly!!! Success #1: getting seeds to germinate. Success #2 will come if they don't die before entering plant adolescence. Success#3 will be when they bear fruit and I get to eat them for dinner. Let's hope we see #2 and #3.
Whilst playing in the garden, I enjoyed some puppy time.
Three little pups were very interested in what I was doing in the garden. They have been banned (with the assistance of some chicken wire) from entering the sacred garden area. They were veeery interested in the goings on in the garden. My little tomato plants are looking like they are dying. They are turning brown and their leaves are starting to waste away. I hope they can hang on. I did have a strawberry starting to grow, but it died and shriveled up. Bummer! It was only as big as a pill bug, so it's not like it would have fed me for a meal anyway.
And here's a picture of my Japanese maple in the sun- with the red leaves that see the most sun bright red and afire. Isn't she a beaut?
All in all a great day. And the best part? It's more than half over by now. We're on the downhill slide... woot!
