Gardening weather

It has rained the whole past week. As the week has moved on the weather has warmed. Tomorrow will be a gardening day I'm sure of it!
I have already started some weeding. I'm pulled out some compost to amend the soil in my garden. I've planted a few seeds of radishes and spinach. So I have a few plants already started.
Today I stopped at Home Depot for a rug and came out with $60 of plants. I bought tomato plants, peppers and Japanese eggplants (that I thought I'd never find). I also bought some plants on sale to beef up the garden area in the backyard that needs some new plants and a budget rose plant to add to the area I am trying to steal back from the forest.
Tomorrow I have to get out and do some digging. This interferes with my obsession with growing and painting my nails (they look pretty good now). Even with gardening gloves my nails always end up dirty. Oh well.
So I am excited to get into the dirt tomorrow AND to start blogging some more. I had a busy Fall and Winter. Things are settling down now and I have more time to do things around the house.

Summertime is fading

School starts this week. Summer is fading into Fall. I have been swimming at the beach as much as I can. The weather has been warm and the water inviting. I go at high tide, in the late afternoon so I can actually do some "lap" swimming. I only wish I could get there more often before it gets too cold to go into the water.
All kinds of daily demands have interfered with my trips. Today it was an impromptu trip to MA to retrieve the last of my son's possessions from his college apartment...in preparation for his transition to his own place. He is ready for his life to begin. Meanwhile I am enjoying a relaxing swim in the ocean, cooling down, but gearing up for one last year of having a child in public education. This is the last time I will fill out all the forms at the start of each year. The lasts time I will buy school supplies. Time flies and life moves on...next chapter. Meanwhile I am going to enjoy my swims.
