Dirt Under My Nails

For three straight days we have experienced no rain while the sun is up. I have taken advantage of this respite from precipitation by spending a lot of time in our garden. I have planted several new native plants and I've spent considerable time weeding. I've also simply spent some time sitting amongst the flora soaking up the atmosphere.

Spring is a time of new beginnings and that particularly is true in this neck of the woods. After months of incessant rain and cool temperatures, the days are a bit warmer and the rain is less frequent. It's not as delightful as it is in many other parts of the country (today's high barely poked above 50), but it's nice enough.

I'm trying to wean myself from so much time spent on the computer. This sort of activity is understandable during the late fall - winter because you can't do too much outside. Now that the season is changing, I need to insure I don't get stuck in the "indoor" rut.

You probably won't notice a significant difference in the number of posts each day on this blog, but I am really trying to get outside more...at least until the next round of rain rolls in. ;-)
