Gardening

I absolutely LOVE summer time. I love to be out in the warm sun hanging out...just enjoying life!

John dedicated a good size area in his yard so I could have a garden (what a great guy!!)...hard to have a garden in an apartment complex! lol Anyhow, I am throughly enjoying it. All of the work involved is work that I find so soothing and relaxing...WEIRD!! We planted tomatoes, peppers, jalapenos, spinach, artichoke, strawberries, eggplant...yummy!

This past weekend we finally go to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor. I finally went and got some spinach. We had a delicious crisp spinach salad. I can hardly wait until we get some more out of the garden.

We had our first good size strawberry that I was dying to sink my teeth into as soon as it was ripe...however, some nice bird was eyeing it too and got to it before me. :(

I was looking at the garden the other day and I love watching it grow...one day you barely have a little stubby stork and then next thing you know you have great tasting veggies. Its such a cool process and satisifying to my soul.

Much love - Niki
