The Earth is Our Mother

We're moved into our new home now and still unpacking. Our housemates leave for their new home this weekend. It's been wonderful. myfanwy_65 suggested I start with small plants and not with seeds given the length of the growing season I have left. Sounds like a good idea, so I'll be hitting the nursery in about 2 weeks.

Dear Husband was gifted with a brand spanky new lawnmower for his birthday and we love it. He mowed the back yard and I insisted on mowing the front yard so I could learn how. I never had my own yard before and I want to learn how to care for it. So mowing the yard will be a shared job I hope. I loved it! Granted the front yard is smaller but I had a ball. There is nothing like the feeling of being outside and puttering around in our very own yard. Elora was in the driveway with her orbital seat while I mowed so DH could get ready for work. It was great!
