Spring fevers
*sigh* I had this nice long post yesterday that has vanished! A quick recap: the usual Monday lament about how weekends are too short, and a short account of how we spent the weekend getting the garden in. When I get a new project in mind I go at it with all the moderation of Captain Ahab, and that's how it's been with the garden. This year we planned out our patch using the Square Foot Gardening method and expanded it, spaded in some peat moss and compost, and even added little walks in between the blocks with paving stones. We had great weather and made quick progress, so we are ahead of schedule. My husband graded the beds for me last night, so I am hoping that I can start sticking seeds in the ground by the end of the week. I have high hopes for our garden this year.
I may be scarce this week between the usual tasks, garden fever, preparing for my husband's absence this weekend, and now Hambet's (and my) illness. Nothing serious, but we both have colds and feel terrible. I have designated today a "loaf day" -- Hambet gets to watch more TV than is usually permitted and wear his slippers all day long (for some reason, he loves his slippers.) I get to read, start my garden journal, and maybe write some letters. We both get to snuggle together and drink all the apple juice we want.
