RE: Technology Breaks and Gardening

I knew it felt like there was an air of something missing just didn't quite click what it was.

There really isn't anything quite like the spring running your hands through the dirt while masterminding the layout of your picturesque arrangement, arranging each of your seedlings into place like a stroke of an artist brush in anticipation of a final masterpiece. Despite numerous times informing people I love to play in the dirt, love to feel the dirt between my fingers they often surprise me with a pair of gardening gloves during special occasions like they never heard a word I said.

This year came with my grand kids, who were out playing with the hose, which I thought they were just rinsing the sidewalk, turning one of my flower bed into a mud pit complete with footprints deep enough to cast just a couple days after finishing arranging the seeds into the arrangement I wanted them to grow. Little buggers! It took days to dry out, another week to see what the damage was going to be. Luckily I planted enough off to the side as fillers that came up to replace those that made their way to mud hell, wherever that might be...lol.
