Screw It, I'm Gardening!

Okay, so the photo below isn't really me, but it very well could be, and might be if we don't get some warm spring days to melt the snow away soon. 

I take no credit for this photo-found it online

I love planting seeds & checking back every day to see who is going to pop out of the dirt first. I used to always start seedlings inside next to a sunny window. Now there is a killer of plants in my house and her name is Moose. We have 2 cats, Moose who is just about to turn 5 and Casper, who is almost 4. Moose gets into EVERYTHING, but that's another blog entry- the point right now is that she destroys plants. 

On a typical summer morning I jump out of bed, grab some coffee & run to the garden to check what is happening out there. One of my favorite things to do is pick green beans, eating as I collect.  I'll usually start inside my fenced garden gathering veggies- then convince my husband to walk around our property picking miscellaneous thimbleberries, blueberries & blackberries. 


 This weekend consists of Spring Cleaning projects inside the house, so I better get started. But be sure to check back tomorrow as I talk about celebrating St. Patrick's Day & how I learned from my Mom (known as Mum, to me & my sister) how to cook a boiled corned beef dinner.
