I don't know about you, but there's something about getting up in the morning and setting straight to work - physical work - that is just so energizing! Our weather has finally broke, making it time to get outside and get to setting things straight that were left to go a bit wild over the colder months. I worked on my strawberry patch today. It was a mess and a half, let me tell you. Why is it that the roots of the weeds always seem to go deeper than the weeds of the good stuff? But such is life I guess, no matter if we're talking about ourselves or our garden. Let a weed go and it will choke out the good things around it.
I ended up with two big buckets full of weeds that I dumped out in the chicken yard for the chickens to sort through and make sense out of. When I left them, they were having a fine time doing just that. I gathered eggs and then came inside. Threw one load of laundry in and by that time, I was hungry! So a plate of scrambled eggs and hashbrowns later, I feel much better.
The rest of my agenda for today will look something like this:
* homeschooling...it never really ends
* bake bread - I've got two loaves to make up from my Amish starter and one loaf of white for sandwiches
* more laundry...that never ends either
* garden plans - my son is going to put in a 3 Sisters Garden this year and we need to sit down and flesh out our plans for it.
* this evening I'd like to get back outside and work in the garden some more - lots to do in that garden in the coming weeks!
