Rain, Rain...

Rain Rain....don't go away! It is no fun to be out in the cold rain, but I have to give thanks for the gentle sounds of dripping outside my window. I have not had to water gardens for more than two weeks now, and that is something to give thanks for! My veggies and flowers are ever so healthy and strong, and our lettuces are crisp and tasty. We will bring in tomatoes and cucumbers soon...Yippee!

And so, while my barely tended gardens flourish, I am enjoying the freedom of lounging in my, oh, so soft recliner reading articles from Grit and Hobby Farms. Another blessing! My neglected library books are back in my hands...such titles as Carrots Love Tomatoes, Four Season Harvest, and Ricki Carrolls' recipes for home cheesemaking. I think I love reading almost as much as playing in the dirt....and reading about playing in the dirt is just the best.

Till later~
