Spring.

I have laundry to wash, dry, and put away… dishes in the dishwasher to unload, and more to go in, dinner to prep, a kitchen floor to sweep and mop, a bathroom in dire need of a good cleaning………and what am I doing instead? Cleaning up my garden. I have a bag full of weeds, old peach pits (we have a peach tree), and leaves that were missed in the fall. It feels good to begin to tidy up my little space of dirt. And I absolutely adore the warm sun shining on my face. Whenever I am digging in dirt I feel like I am connecting with God in a different and yet intimate way. It makes my soul sing a song that was just waiting to be sung. It feels good. i also planted two foot long rows of lettuce. I’ve never done that before so only time will tell if it grows. Tomorrow it’s supposed to rain, and so I will be sure to get caught up on the house chores – maybe I’ll even enlist the help of my older two. I’m sure they’d enjoy earning a few coins, and I sure would love the help. I’m going to go back outside in a few minutes… maybe I’ll see another butterfly. I saw a beautiful one just a couple of hours ago. First one this Spring! Oh how I LOVE this time of year!
