100th Day

My Grandma always said you plant beans on the 100th day of the year, so this morning I got up in the fog and the mud and planted beans.  When I say it that way it sounds unpleasant, but really it was nice.  I like a good bit of mud.  If you don't think of it as dirty it can be quite luxurious.  The fog was okay.  At least it wasn't hot.  And it was quiet and the fog makes the sounds and the sights soft and pretty. 

 This is obviously not a picture of my beans.  I checked this afternoon. They haven't sprouted yet.  ;-) Maybe tomorrow.

Spring???

It certainly seems like spring here!  Hard to believe it's only the end of February!  I planted this little flower garden last week.  We were at the store to get some humus to prepare a bed for when it's actually time plant things and were so tempted by the annuals!  It really is lovely out, so we brought them home and made a little flower bed by our front walk.  Most of these flowers have a beautiful scent, in addition to looking pretty, so it's lovely to walk by the bed everyday.  I'm sure it will freeze again before Easter, but the beauty of the little bed here, is that it will be so simple to cover them and hopefully they'll live through the freeze and on into the real spring.  :-)  Right now there's no hint of a freeze at all. I love it!
