i just realized, i forgot to tell you about my spring time job
thought it would be part time but it has turned into full time
ahhh, the life of gardening in springtime
still fun but a ton of work too
this job, so to speak, has meant i have been missing my time to
take some pictures and write something new for the
irish garden house
as well as take time to catch up on
what is happening in each of your lives.
remember a year ago in april
when i caught my finger in a bird feeder
sounds funny now but it certainly wasn't at the time
in one flash of a minute everything changed
a few days later i was off to grand rapids
to see a hand surgeon specialist
with surgery scheduled a few days later
i mention this reminder
because it is why i have this full time job now
my usual weeding, sorting, splitting, cleaning and planting
didn't happen last year
which has put me in double time this year
along with gardening
there has been the exciting track season
for our youngest grandson
the conference meet was fun
although very long
especially
after the pole vault event
jordon was outstanding
cleaning 8 '6" with a breeze
up and over he went for 9'
the pole wiggled, paused . . .
and then fell to the mat
(photo from previous meet)
exciting to say the least
but best of all
jordon scored third overall in the conference
quite the thrill for a fourteen year old
the following is the only photo from the final meet
and then there was mother's day
my children treated me royally
with dinner and flowers and cards and visits
and i made a banana cream pie
because it was my mommas favorite
life is sweet
frost in the mid twenties yesterday morning
high seventies today
it
truly
is
a
wonderful
world
