Soil, Plants, Heron, and Ducks All in a Row
AMAZING...
I have to say that I
understand, I have always loved
working in the dirt when I was
stressed.
Thursday, I actually worked in
my flowerbed, no gloves, just
hands and dirt.
LOVED IT.
I have lots of stuff coming
up. Iris, Hydrangea bushes,
Lilies, Lemon Sage and
pretty sure I spotted some
Lambs Ear coming up.
The English Ivy kicked the bucket...
YAY...
Not sure about my
Crepe Myrtle but they usually come
in later anyway.
Lost a bush in the front yard during
the Ice Storm of Dec. 2022.
However, I never plant new and
fresh until after April 15.
But that don't mean that I have not
been COLLECTING.
I have Rosemary, Oregano
and Spearmint (lost those
this winter), flowering Grape Hayaciath,
Crocus, Daffodils, Irish Moss and
a Cypress type tree I got for
Christmas to plant.
I am getting ready.
If you have not learned by now,
let me let you in on something...
there are times that I have to
mess with others.
Several weeks ago my SIL posted
a pic of a bunch of yellow
ducks in a row.
The comment Kim posted with
the pic was,
"Well, I guess Mark has his ducks
all in a row"!!
HAHA
Couple weeks ago, when I was
sitting with the cats I noticed
on the window sill in the
bathroom, all these little yellow
ducks, all in a row.
The other day I was at
Dollar Tree
and saw a larger, gold glitter
looking duck, and the light bulb
went off!
(this is how lights in my
fibro head looks,
all jumbled up)!
Anyway, when Mark went to work
today, I snuck over to the house,
went in and made room for
the gold glittery duck in
between the yellow baby
ducks.
Kim is supposed to let me know
when he sees it and
she is not going to let him
know how it got there!!
HAHA..
You know, sometimes you just
have to do what you
gotta do!
UPDATE ON DUCKS~
Mark found the duck, asked
Kim did she put it there and
of course she said, "No".
Next question, "has Pam been
over here"!
Okay, so I guess people
know I do silly things like
this. lol
Anyway, Kim told him
that she did not know if
I had been out there
(yes, I have a key).
Mark became concerned
about someone being in the
house, a thought I never
took into consideration, so
I texted him and asked
him if he got the gift I
left. He thought it was
funny but was trying
to figure out how it
got there....
sometimes I guess I need
think things
through more!

The arrival of spring is a very good feeling for all of us.
Always loved to work with bare hands in the dirt, till I ended up at the ER with a severe rash from head to toe.
Got advised to wear gloves so I wear thin cotton gloves with examination gloves on top.
That has kept me safe since that severe attack.
Hugs,

You have a good start on plants.
You and I would get along great in real life, I'd do something like your duck trick too. You made me laugh!
I'm not a big fan of dirt. I can't get past not liking getting my hands dirty. Well, that, and I can't get anything to grow. Gardening is not for me.
Cute idea with the duck.
