I had dental surgery February 8th. I had hernia surgery February 9th. Needless to say I have been down where I couldn't do much the last 2 weeks. Springtime is not a good time to be down and out.
We have had beautiful weather the last few weeks here in Oklahoma. A few weeks of planting and such that could have been done hasn't been.
Today we had someone come till the garden area. I enjoyed smelling the fresh dirt be lifted up to the air. The dogs were running and playing and acting as if it was the dawn of a new season. I wonder, sometimes, if they don't know a lot more than we give them credit for.
Mr. Mason, a dear friend of ours, came over the break up the ground so we could plant. Times have been tough financially and so we haven't been able to buy a tractor like we had wanted to do. Times like this break my heart. I don't like being financially in a bind, however, I know we are working at getting bills paid off and that we are working hard to get out of debt and that if we can just make it for the next 3 years we will have our home and everything else paid off and times won't be as hard.
We had already done some seed planting at my resale shop. We will be hosting a weekly Farmers Market on Saturdays at the store so we are really excited about that.
We have snap peas, morning glories, radishes, cilantro, basil, and several bulb plants already growing at the store. It is so exciting to see seeds start turning into plants. To me it just seems like a miracle.
We are due for rain tomorrow so I am hoping that when Morgan gets home from his Chiropractor appointment that we can do some planting.
