This past week we’ve had a roller coaster of spring. Snow falling one minute… sun peaking out and melting it all the next.
Today is grey skies. But at least it’s warm and I plan to spend part of it out in my garden.
Pulling weeds… Already?
And planting peas and lettuce. I’m a little later than I’d like for planting my peas… but better late than never.
I always soak my peas overnight before planting them. It gives them a little bit of a head start.

One thing I can count on when working in my garden is the happiness it brings me. We all need those activities in our lives that restore our sense of balance and bring us peace. Working in the garden is one of those activities for me.
For someone else… it’s something different altogether… Whatever that activity is, it’s critical that we find it. Cultivate it. Do it with purpose:
Today I am working in the garden. Today I will feel the warm spring air and smell the soil and I will be content.
