I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?

True, true.
Well, two Saturdays ago, we planted our garden. You see, we had our plants ready but we procrastinated, procrastinated and... procrastinated. Then it hailed really bad (most of our neighbors garden were destroyed). Then it rain, as most people said, for 40 days and 40 nights. oh, so much rain!!!! As you can see, we never had a chance to get the garden in (sheepish grin). So the night before before our friends came up for Alex's farewell, we stayed up late (9 o'clock) planting most of the garden. My dad had to shine a light on us so we could see what we were doing. So most of our garden is in.
And you know you have good friends when this is what they do when they come up for a "stay" at your house...
... so your yard could be ready for the farewell the next day,
even though it was raining.
This is my prayer now...
All the time I weeded today the chickens kept sticking their head through the fence. So funny because there aren't any weeds next to the fence but they would do it anyway. So we decided to give them a reason to actually do it.
