Spring blossoms are beginning to pop up their pretty heads and it is planting time. My tired achy body doesn’t do as much of that as I used to. But it is time for a trip to the greenhouse.

I still have not cleaned out my flower beds. My husband has been sick and they forecast potential tornadoes for tomorrow. So, maybe I should wait. But I need to get my beds ready for the summer growing season.

I long for a spring vacation, I’ve spent too much time in the house over the winter but I’ve almost finished a novel. I have a couple of weekend trips planned but I’d love a long winding road with little to do and much to see.

I have a friend who is trekking the Camino de Santiago El Camino de Santiago Hiking Tour | MT Sobek – Mountain Travel Sobek in Spain and loving it though his dogs are barkin’! I wish I were young enough to do that. My husband and I went to Zimbabwe on a hunting trip when we were middle aged and it was a trip of a lifetime. I keep thinking about a train ride through the national parks. I have another friend who is leaving for a weeklong trip to Ireland this week with her family. Sigh. I guess I’ll write a blog and dream.

But, instead, I think I’ll get busy on those flower beds. Day lilies have overtaken my ornamental grass. I thought the lilies were long gone, but I guess not. They area so invasive! There are leaves in the south bed and grass in the herb garden. Time to get out the hoe and get to work.

My grandmother lived in the Ozarks and raised 8 kids on a farm with fruit trees, a milk cow, chickens, and a giant vegetable garden during the Great Depression. And I’m griping about weeding a little flower bed or two.

But it’s spring and it is to be enjoyed. I need to get busy.

Another Story another Time. What are you reading/writing this week?
