It is only February, and around here usually that means screaming wind and icy snow. But this winter has been rather mild, and we are predicted to have an early last frost; So when The sun was shining and the snow was melting yesterday, I looked out the window at my kids and decided to join them. I ended up where I always do, poking through my garden. First I scraped aside some mulch and peered down at the slumbering garden patch. Instead of frozen tundra, I saw brown, moist, gooey dirt. Much like a perfect pan of brownies. I could hold myself back no longer! I grabbed my shovel and started turning it over.
Before long, I had the spinach patch done. The boys soon joined in, collecting handfuls of worms and watching them work their way back into the ground. It was what I would call, a perfect afternoon. It may freeze up soon for another month or two, but we got our little garden fix and we're happy.
