A GARDENING WEEK, SORT OF

Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things
growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling
guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up
a little peace and serenity.

I've spent the week going through papers
getting ready to file my taxes; really there
is nothing like waiting until the last moment
to keep things exciting.

In between paper work I've stolen moments
outside to play in my herb bed. I was delighted
and somewhat surprised to see my Spanish
lavender in bloom. The oregano has gotten
totally out of control and is trying to
take over half the bed and I thought the
mint was trouble.

And did you see the worms?!!!!  There are
many worms and worm babies in there making
some wonderful soil.

There is always knitting in my day, but then
you knew that right? I have been eyeing this
ever since I saw Kate's and think I will be
casting on one today. I picked up some
Brown Sheep Serendipity Tweed in Baby's
Breath that I think will be perfect.

My Mike had a birthday on Thursday and is
now 51 years old! Happy birthday my love.
Several of the children will be here Sunday
for a fish fry and cake {German Chocolate,
always for him}.

Where ever you are and what ever you have
planned this weekend I hope you enjoy yourself.

Love,
Tracey
