Today we got to work! The sun was out, it was warm, it felt good and it's the weekend. Time to get started in the yard. Turning the soil, cutting the grass, planting seeds and watering... building a garden just for strawberries and knowing that my kids will love me for it. Getting ready to watch things grow and wondering if it will be as beautiful when it's done as I see it in my head. All the while enjoying the laughter of the kids playing, who are so glad that it's not cold and they don't have ten layers of clothes on... so glad that all the other children have come out to play (And not having to be the only two kids whose parents forced them out of the house in the bitter cold of winter). Yard work feels good... when it's done! Watching everything grow. It's so nice to sit back and enjoy all the hard work. Looking at your great triumph over nature and waiting for them to bloom... waiting to see what they will look like... wondering if you did a good job... wondering if one day they will be digging up flower beds, landscaping and debating with their spouse time and time again about where all the new plants should go... while there kids are laughing and playing and running through the grass on a most beautiful day ;-)
