ants
One thing I've learned the hard way. I need to be more like the ant and less like the grasshopper. I could learn a thing or two from the squirrels too.
I'm learning first hand about stewardship. It's hard work. I painted my bedroom. I have some stuff in my bathroom prepped for paint and when extra money presents itself, I will finish it. Other things will take priority though. I've been informed by the resident green thumb that adding filters to our secondary water system is now a priority. It will mean a large expense up front but lesser expense on the back end. For the most part, I do what I'm told in the garden.
Ants work. Grasshoppers don't. Squirrels save up for winter. I need to learn to save. That's part of stewardship and I cannot wait to be in a place to put something back for the rainy days. Soon. Very soon.
Garden plans are being formed right now. Excitement is building! If this wether holds, peas, onions, carrots, beets, and potatoes will go in the ground. June is working on the layout for the garden. We're gonna have fun!
Trees need to be pruned and we're gonna try some soil sterilization techniques we read about on the interweb. We have to do something to get rid of the weeds and find a way to plant crops that will be friendly for access and cut down on weeds. I'm leaving that part to June.
I looked online this morning and found parts I need for the hickeylooper. Miss June wants me to fix the hickeylooper because she likes the way it plants. We looked at our compost pile and we have compost! It's actually time to start a new pile and use up what we have. I have enough work out back to stay busy all spring and summer, I think. Progress will be measured in feet this year.
One thing I noticed last year is that I got a running start but got discouraged as the summer wore on because I didn't have a lot of help. Taking care of the garden could be a full-time job This year, I'm really serious about changing my idea of what success is. Success will be measured by the foot this year, not by what I can see. If I clear a little bit each day, I'll feel good about it.
We're getting excited. The trees have buds on them already! It's almost here!
