It's That Time of Year

It's the time of year, when I wake up and just about everything is sore. It's when I look down at what's supposed to be my nails and see dirty, broken, scraggly things. Also, I tend to spend ridiculous amounts of money.

Yes, it's gardening time!

It's our 3rd year at the community garden & we're (all) getting a late start this year, due to weather.

Every year, it's so hard to remember that this:

...will look like this, very soon:

These folks were ON it today. They worked from 7:45 am (when I dropped off some dirt) and were still at it after 3:00 pm.

Me? I was happy to get my 21 lettuce plants in. I raised these from seed for the last 4 weeks.

I threw this picture in...just because cats are annoying. SO glad we have the double vanities. I wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone with having to wait for a drink. God forbid they actually use their water bowl.

The better weather, means we're outside most all day.

We decided to take a "break" from gardening to go on a nature walk.

Dev spent an hour floating things down the stream. We watched this acorn top for a bit.
