Fickle Weather
Winter to summer in one week
My day will be filled with the smells of lilacs and soil
- Tucking seedlings into the soil - zinnias, honeywort, shirley poppies, cosmos, marigolds, and oh so many more
- Mowing the orchard around apples, pears, cherries and our new little peach. I hope to add an apricot soon
- Watering rows of berries, strawberry, raspberry, marionberry, blueberry in preparation for the heatwave
- Walking through the forest to clear a fallen tree from the path we opened up for neighbors
My day will be filled with birdsong, soil ground into my fingers and knees, and dreams of flower bouquets yet to come!
What will your day be filled with?
