100 Days
Did you guys know that we're 100 days into the year?
Crazy, right!
I can't believe that so much time has passed already although I am TOTALLY okay with the fact that winter has finally gone from our sleepy village in Ohio, I don't want the time to pass too quickly. We celebrated today by planting a few pansies, the one flower that will probably survive if we have a few cold days with frost.
We've stayed busy the last few weeks enjoying our warmer weather. This week it's going to be in the 70's most days and Henry and I plan on soaking up every last bit of warmth that we can find. I can't wait until mid-May when I can get up every morning, put on my pot of coffee, get dressed, and then wander out to my garden. My mornings were always so lovely last year when I spent an hour out weeding, pruning, and nourishing our veggies-to-be.
I always swore I had a black thumb but as I look around our house and see all the plants I've collected from the clearance rack at work, I can see that over the years the black has faded and the green has slowly taken over. I love gardening; there is such peacefulness about it and it's so rewarding to eat the things that you grow and know that you've become a little more self-reliant.
There has been a sense of uneasiness and unrest in our house as vacation creeps closer and the chill still hangs in the air although the temperature rises. We are ready for spring and summer and sunshine and warmth.
It's almost here and I can not wait.
Have a beautiful (and hopefully warm) Thursday.
Wow... 100 days already? That's crazy! We just planted some lillies and peonies anddd pumpkins! I can't wait for them to bloom! :)
ReplyDeleteWe always throw our gourds and pumpkins into the same corner and let them come back themselves. It's always a huge mess of vines and mixed plants but we love it.
DeleteGosh 100 days already!? Time is flying by!
ReplyDeleteHow have 100 days slipped by? It doesn't seem possible.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have even a quasi-green thumb. Sadly, I'm the worst when it comes to plants.
I used to be too, but I've gotten better over the past 5 years or so.
DeleteI have the best black thumb. :-( unfortunately, I've been known to even kill a cactus. Sad, I know.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that warmer weather.
That is a little sad, although Jeremy definitely killed a cactus that he had once - so you're not the only one! ;)
DeleteI am soo happy that it is getting warmer as well! I am totally jealous of your yard... We live in a 3rd story condo, and I just cringe thinking about how AMAZING a yard would be! We spend a lot of time outside, but man oh man do I wish we had a yard.
ReplyDeleteI said yard SO many times, ;)
DeleteI've been soaking up every bit of warm weather we've had lately too, so I know how you feel! I'm trying my luck at growing a few herbs and vegetables this year as well! I just planted the vegetables a week ago so nothing is happening yet but it makes me so happy!
