I went to the “nursery” yesterday. It was fantastically sunny and the owner was very helpful to tell me what plants do well in Colorado and what I should expect out of them.
As I was planting my new “babies”, one of my real life babies was next to me digging in the dirt, playing with worms, and singing about the joy of gardening.
I snickered to myself…I just like to watch things grow.
