BLOSSOMING INTO THE GARDENS!!! :)
Hi angel friends! :) Greetings, from our yard and gardens! :) beginning a brand new gardening season journey, with some nice hard work, in the yard and gardens :)The spring birds singing, and the beautiful sun shining :) oh wow! :) i must admit, i really rocked it in the yard and gardens today :) i'm getting a nice iced tea this evening, to sit back, relax, and resting after putting in some great hours into our yard and gardens :) a beautiful garden, is a work of heart, and for me this season, it's a work of a healing heart. my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a nice peaceful sunday :) This time of the year, i love to dwelve into our yard and gardens more, and with the nice sunny warm weather, it's so inviting, to be out amongst the spring time nature :)it's that time of the year, more and more birds visiting, garden critters, bumble bees, and lots more, and the sights of the beautiful waves of trees beginning to blossom off into the distance :) It's a beautiful time, to soak up some spring time nature :)
Shortly after 11am today, i got a nice pair of garden gloves, and i blossomed out into our yard and gardens :) i was thinking of you all often, while i was outside, and tending our yard and gardens :) Winter season, can put lots of wear and tear on a yard and garden, and the journey of the new season, the excitement, and the energy, of putting lots of love and spirit into the garden, is one of the most nicest things about the season :) Every gardening season is a journey, and it begins during these times, as the weather is nicer, and the birds are singing louder, and those fresh spring nature joys, like flowers, trees, and bushes blossoming, are some of the most wonderful nature blessings to be able to enjoy :) When i went outside around late morning, i focused right in, on getting some great yard and garden work accomplished :)
It felt good, to be outside :) We have lots of robins, and red cardinals visiting our yard and neighborhood :) The birds singing happily together, and there's a slight breeze in the air too :) i was soaking up the energy of the nature, as i began to clean, and organize, 3 of our garden areas :) i got our garden rakes, and i first cleaned, and organized, our garden that is next to my mom's peace flower garden :) This garden, is where we have strawberry plants that sprout up each year, and we also love to plant in, some potatoes, and tomato plants in this garden area :) it's right next to our lilac bushes :) i was feeling the energy, as i was getting into the garden work :) i love to do a lot, for my mom and dad, and being able to help them outside, with making our yard and gardens look nice, is very special to me :)
During the garden off-season, seeing all kinds of leaves in the garden, and eventually snowfall during winter, and as the snow all melted, i was really looking forward to freshening up the gardens :) we had lots of planters filled with nice organic soil from last season, i love to put that soil amongst the gardens :) i worked on my mom's peace flower garden next :) i was making some piles of leaves and sticks/brush, to gather up later on, with the wheel-barrow :) i was getting really into the work in our yard :) i was so very into it :) i saw some birds flying around, they were really singing so nicely today :) in my mom's peace flower garden, we have tiger lillies, hyacinth's, daffodils, lilly of the valley's, and tulips :) we have some hyacinth's blossoming :) white, purple, and pink :) it's so nice, to see the plants :) The daffodils sprouted right up, with the leaves, and i felt like it was so cool to see, the plants, sprouting right up, it was like the plants were saying. "it's our time to shine" :) awww! :) i was doing really well, in the gardens :) i removed all of the sticks and branches from the garden :) my did really well in recent weeks, pruning our fruit trees :)
We have apple trees, pear trees, and a peach tree :) my dad loves to prune the trees each year :) my dad got called into work today, but was definitely with me in spirit in the gardens, and i was looking forward to showing both him and my mom, the great progress of getting our gardens ready :) we have a rose bush that is in my mom's peace flower garden too :) it'll be blossoming up in May and June :) i did some raking by our picnic table area, i was cleaning the area really good :) We're gonna be putting some nice grass seeds down soon, to grow some fresh grass in some areas of our yard, that need some grass seeds :) i was working up a sweat outside, but felt so deeply in tune with the nature, and having all of the birds around singing, it was just pure joyful and peaceful :)
The next garden i cleaned and organized, is the sunflower field of hope and unfailing faith :) This is our biggest garden, and was loaded with leaves from last autumn season.oh my! i knew it was gonna take a big effort :) i paced myself, as i was beginning to clean this garden :) There were 2 robins near our pine tree in our yard, and i heard a red cardinal singing in one of our trees too :) i felt you all with me in spirit, as i was really into the yard and garden work :) i was raking the leaves from the garden, and also cleaned/raked around our apple tree and garden area, and cleaned around our garden greenhouse, which we'll be planting seeds in very soon :) i got the wheel-barrow, and began to remove some of the leaves/brush/sticks piles i had made, and was putting that out way out back near the pine trees areas :) it was hard work, i made about 7 trips over to that area of our yard with the wheel barrow, it was good hard work :) i did really well :) my mom came outside and she was looking at our yard, and gardens, and said i did a really good job :)
i was outside for about 2 hours, i did really well out there :) it was a good workout too, lots of exercise, getting the gardens set, and organized :) my dad and i have some garden projects coming up, including expanding one of our garden areas :) i still have, some gardens to clean and organize :) i'd love to do some more garden work this upcoming week, and next weekend :) my favorite gardening area, our garden beds areas, the flower garden by our peach tree and bird sanctuary, and also the garden oen the side of our driveway :) my family and i also want to clean and organize our front yard and garden out there too :) while i was in the gardens today, raking up the leaves, it felt like i was peeling back, the garden seasons of the past, and beginning a fresh clean slate, and that's really good for me :) this season, will be a season of garden healing for me :)
i'm looking forward to bringing you all right there with me in spirit, in our gardens, with all of our adventures my family and i have, and also all of the pictures i'll get to take, of the season that will continue to blossom beautifully :) i'm really proud of the yard and garden work i did today :) still lots of work to do, but it's really worth it, and is enjoyable :) i took some cool before/after pictures today, of the garden work i did :) This is definitely the start, of the 2015 gardening season journey :) there's so much more, to look forward too :) i'm excited, to hear about your gardens, and plants :) We'll be begin to plant some seeds in our garden greenhouse :) i gathered up some planters today, plus we have peat moss planters, and our packets of garden seeds :) my dad's gonna get our garden greenhouse set, and it'll then be time for some great planting :) i saw some bees outside in the garden areas today :) With all ofo the garden and yard work i did today, i'm resting this evening, and gonna treat myself to a nice iced tea, and a movie night tonight :)
We're having a nice weekend :) it's been a good, positive weekend :) i've been spending lots of time with family, friend to friends :) my dad's gonna help me this upcoming week, with my new window fan :) i want to install it into my window :) it's a really nice fan :) i put it on my table here, it's nice and cool :) this has been the easiest weekend for me, in the past few weeks. i'm continuing to do ok, i'm keeping strong, surrounded by family, friends, and nature :) i know each day, will get a bit easier :) i'm being good to myself :) i want to do some writing this upcoming week, some more nature walks, plus maybe some garden work during the week too :) i can't wait to begin planting some seeds in our peat moss planters, garden greenhouse :) it's gonna be a good week to keep active, with traditions, sweet treats tuesday, going to the post office, and having another spring themed baking friday adventure :) my family and i feel very blessed, and thankful, to have you all in our lives :) thank you all, for comforting me, during these recent times, and also thank you all, for all that you do for us :) We appreciate you all, and we care deeply about you all :) Big group comforting hug :) Tonight, i'm gonna enjoy my iced tea, some popcorn, and going to watch a movie :) There's many more nice things to look forward too, with family, friends, and nature :)

LOOKING GREAT CHRIS!!! You got a GREAT DEAL OF WORK DONE!!! WOWOWOWOW!!! You\'ve really got a good start on several areas and I know it\'s the GARDENING EXCITEMENT that is FLOWING THROUGH YOU!!! I just LOVE you GARDENING SPIRIT!!!

I too was out for a bit acidifying my blueberry bushes and dumping my compost bin... That bin took a BITE out of my left shin on it\'s way to the ground, and I\'m left with a big purple bruise with a couple of cuts... Typical for me to hurt myself the first time out, but I\'ll be fine... I don\'t think I\'ll be here all summer, but I\'m still going to do some basic things anyway. It\'s just GOOD FOR MY SPIRIT!!!

Love to you and everybody in CT!!! HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING!!!

Plant morning glories and sunflowers together. The morning glories will climb the sunflower stalks. Awesome effect.

Take good care
