It has been raining for days and I am beyond done with this dreary weather. I need sunshine and some warmth. I hate feeling like a slug and being in the house. A couple of weekends ago we had a small break long enough for me to plant in my garden. As a matter of fact it was on my birthday, March 13th. I uncovered a small section and planted potatoes, radishes and cucumbers. I have not tried potatoes before and look very forward to how they are going to grow. I planted pansies in my flower gardens and sure enough those darn slugs and snails are having a wonderful feast right before my eyes. I am out of snail bait and the old fashion beer in a cup has been working until I can get to the store. Amazing that even the diluted beer (from the rain) has worked.
I have one wine barrel left and I think I will plant sunflowers in it this year and put them in a nice corner in my front yard. This will be covering the make shift wood gate my man has put on our side yard. He has been too busy to make a real gate yet. Oh well, it is very funny to watch him have too unscrew it every time he needs something from the side yard. I, on the other hand am small enough to climb over everything from the back yard.
I need more yard art. The thrift store this weekend was of no help. I need the rain to stop even more so that I can venture through the many yard sales for unusual things to place in unusual places. I am thinking of some old window frames or doors maybe, something of that sort. This may take me some time to find, but when I do it will just pop out at me. Most things like this do. Antique stores, that is a good spot. Another good idea.
