Getting it Ready

In February we had such nice weather that it was all I could do to restrain myself from planting my whole garden.  Now, of course, the climate is back that of  a more typical spring; chilly and rainy.  Still, Bronwyn and I found a few sunbreaks today to celebrate in.  We sorted our vegetable seeds and started some indoors for our warmer weather garden.  Bronwyn really enjoyed pressing the seeds into the soil.  I helped her at first, but she soon got the hang of it herself!

It's amazing to me how such a simple act of planting seeds brings so much hope and promise in my life. 

As we were finishing, dark storm clouds loomed and we packed everything up quickly in order to avoid the heavy downpour that was about to follow.  Minutes later we were inside, making tea and feeling so satisfied for having "accomplished" this simple task.  Suddenly even the rain didn't seem so bad.
