Gathering Eggs
It rained all day here. I could hear football in stereo for most of the day, intermittent with the first Home Alone movie in another room, and the sound track from Twilight in yet another. Happily, I was able to go outside earlier in the day to gather a few green and blue eggs from my Americanas and admire my newly planted strawberry plants. They have come to life in this rain and have spread their generous roots in the spongy dirt and will give me and my family so many berries this spring. When I look at my garden in late November, I love its look, but I can’t help but think of yet another spring and plan for tomatoes and summer squash. I think the garden is a reason to look forward; the garden is another reason to be. For now, however, it is so cozy within my little fence; the leaves are mostly on the ground and wearing their fall color. My narcissus bulbs are beginning to have forced narcissus bulbs inside near my kitchen window for a Christmas bloom and each January, I have planted them somewhat randomly in the yard. By now, I have bunches and bunches of them scattered throughout my yard to enjoy in the winter.
Till next time,
p.s.
