Don't you just love how one thing always leads to another...maybe slightly ambiguous, however I love to keep busy in my yard. There is never a dull moment and there is always things to kept up with. Yesterday as it poured rain I thought to myself what a perfect day it is to transplant seedlings. As the weather tried to put a strain on my activities I knew the shelter and warmth of the greenhouse would keep me feeling vibrant. I got all my seedlings transplanted to give them some room to stretch out. Then I realized how the maple sugar was just running from the trees. It was almost hard to keep up with it. I didn't want to waste any of that lovely sap. The only waste it can go to is my own waist....So I collected all that goodness and on Thursday when I have collected all I can keep for season I will boil it down and just like that, cavities....hahaha or maple candy,syrup. So after the collection of sap I realized Kaya...my wonderful but highly careless dog has ran through my new raised bed. To his defense it wasn't there last week so it is all new to him. So I began to make more posts to make fences. I really do not like to have barricades up in the garden but when you have nature and my dog at your doorstep you must come prepared. Since I cut my own wood there was no shortage of limbs to chunk up and sharpen to make posts. So the raised beds are safe, luckily Kaya didn't see the other bed. Well since I was working with the chainsaw anyway I might as well work at some more trees for my firewood. A little hard work in the elements paid off as the unsuspected sun came out in the afternoon. What was meant to be a lazy day in the rain became a late night. And ultimately the days I cherish most.
Much love to all in groundation celebrations...give strength
