Planting

                                                

        My husband said, "What is with you women.  Every spring you all start needing to plant flowers all over, it's like an obcession with you".  

        It is true, most of the people you see at the green houses are women.  Most of the gardens are put in by women.  I don't seem to be able to, or really want to for that matter, control myself each spring from the want and joy of putting my flowers and veggies in. 

      I like playing in the dirt.  I like watching them grow and be beautiful.  I love smelling my flowers and home picked tomato's can not be beat. 

        You do see men doing it but not as often as the women.  We nurture and are born to plant things and watch them.  As broke as I am I still spend money on my plants.  He will admit though he likes the flowers and way the house looks when they are all in bloom.  Like the little red hen's friends, he likes the produce also.  Weeding, well thats another matter.

   So anyway the planting is almost done.  We bought a new started for the rider which was $100.00!  We really need it because we have so much lawn to mow.  Takes all day otherwise.  My grass is so long it has gone to seed and will be hard to mow this first time.  Once in the other yard we let it get so long Rick ran over a rabbits nest.  The horror of that won't be forgotten soon and now we do a walk-a-bout to make sure there aren't any before we mow.
