Good Morning. Mornings are so much better after a good night's sleep, RIGHT?
And I made a major decision earning this morning and I feel less stress already!
I have decided that I will NOT have a garden this year! Yep, now that have taken up yet another hobby, quilting, that takes up a lot of my free time for Photography and other things, I do not need to PREP, DIG, PLANT, WEEK, WATER ($), etc., so that the damn squirrels can eat my cukes, zucchinis, and TOMATOES!
I spend hours of back-breaking work that would cost WAY MORE THAN A BUSHEL OF ROMA tomatoes and I really do not get that much satisfaction out of it. I still have the back grass to cut, flower gardens in the front yard, hedges in the front and backyard to weed and take care of, etc. It is just too time-consuming and now wears me out.
I know I will miss it. But I already feel a sense of relief. Hurray, Yippee, etc.
So, it may be ironic to post the first photo in this daily.
Yesterday, I stopped at a little market that sells a nice variety of Michigan produce and other Michigan packaged goods, jellies, popcorn, noodles, etc. They also have some beautiful hanging baskets. I needed one more photo for tonight's club meeting special assignment, "Signs of Spring", and I took this shot. I was also going to buy a hanging basket of flowers but unfortunately, the store was closed on Wednesdays. I wonder when they started that? SO, the only thing I came away with was this photo.
Have a good spring time (fall for you, Peter) day everyone.
