As I write tonight, my brain is spinning thinking of all the things I've done today, would like to get done, and will probably do tomorrow...meanwhile, our garden (or what is hopefully to soon be a garden) continues to patiently wait on me. After digging, testing soil, digging some more, adding peat moss, digging some more, adding more peat moss and pitching out only God knows how many rocks from the plot of land, our garden is finally looking more like a place that plants might like to inhabit!!! Yes, I'm probably too particular about the way it "looks" and the seed is just waiting to get placed in the ground so that it can do its thing, but that's just me...wanting it to be PERFECT before I begin. Isn't it that way with everything I do??? And what is ever perfect in this world these days??? I know, I should give it a break and just do this and get it done - I will, but it will be as close to perfect as I can get it before I start planting those precious little seeds.
As I write this, my best friend Amanda is probably counting down the minutes between contractions and trying to figure out if they should go ahead and leave for Birmingham now or not??? That, to most of you, probably seems like something the farthest from a garden topic as you've ever heard - well, I'll have you know it's not. Amanda just so happened to have been in her garden last night hoeing until 8 PM. So, if you're having trouble getting your baby to decide to join you in this world, get out in the garden!!! They will make their grand entrance into this beautiful world sooner than you might think.
