One might wonder, based on my last entry, if I actually survived the month of February. Well, indeed. I've worked through the cobwebs, and now stand undefeated!
Spring has been good to me. Teasing with temps into the 90's on a couple occasions, fair amount of rain, leveling the ups and downs. Six of seven gardens are planted. And every row has sprouted into promises of production and yield. The last garden untouched will be for herbs and flowers. I'd like to do a little design. Maybe concentric circles with a star design in the middle. The plot is 50' x 50'. Should be enough area to play with...though, I've never devoted an entire garden to such frivolity and fun.
Oh, and I've begun to find things that went missing in February. Silly me, things were right where I put them!
The pool is open--though the water is cold. It took days and days to clean. I remember last Fall when I said, "I'll just wait and clean it in the Spring". Never will I close it again, without a good cleaning. Live and learn.
I'm halfway through an online writing workshop that deals with the different forms of poetry. I used to think poetry was poetry. I had my own particular "form". The reasoning for taking it was to have something to do during hours upon hours of waiting for my husband to receive his chemo treatments. I usually scribble and scratch thoughts onto paper anyway---the assignments would provide structure and function to my ordinarily undecipherable phrasing. It is not easy! I didn't bargain for deep thought processing. I had hoped, instead, for inspiration with clause.
Ok, returned is the lost one--me; found myself again; and she's moving on....so relieved winter has passed, and summer is calling my name!
