I love living out in the country and spending time outside. Today I planted some pepper plants in my newly repaired green house. Hopefully they will become part of our delicious salsa that James makes.
Later on in the day when I was trying to figure out what James was doing I discovered that my neglected strawberry patch is full of healthy strawberry plants overgrown by weeds. Since I love strawberries I couldn't resist pulling the tall grass and dandelions out from around them. Joshua counted 27 strawberry plants that we liberated. I wonder how many more plants have survived the neglect.
Today my garden didn't have horses, water buffalo, cows or the creek in it. More and more little plants that aren't weeds are appearing in designated rows. I am exited about that. I was afraid that not much would grow because of all the moisture and cool weather.
The younger children in the family can't resist the puddles and come in wet and muddy. It really isn't very difficult to find the water and mud. The sunshine and warmth of the day really helped me have a great day. I better go. I just remembered that I haven't closed the green house door yet.
