Rain, glorious rain

I awoke this morning to the patter of rain, and it continues. I can imagine the seeds soaking in the moisture, shoots starting to awaken with life, roots that have been moved stretching out and finding home anew. Oh the joy of spring rain nourishing the earth and beginning the start of a new season of growth. I think it is the antiicipation of what may lie ahead that makes spring planting so fun... one never knows what a season will bring.

Last year, less tomatoes and few summer squashes came with all the rain that followed a year of semi drought. This year??? I know that the bug man likes green peppers so a few extra plants will go in the dirt for him. Sharing life through gardening- yellow squash for elderly neighbors, tomatoes to bless and share as they come in. the blessing of abundance and sharing with any who your life intersects with... all of it a joy.

Today may be a good day to plot the master garden plan- so that i can track the planting from year to year and not plant crops that will sabotage one another. it will not be a day for alot of outside time, rather one to enjoy the warmth and comfort of the inside with blinds wide open to catch any sun that is available.

Off ot dream of dirt
