Our Garden
The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies;
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring;
The skylark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around
To the bells' cheerful sound;
While our sports shall be seen
On the echoing green.
-- William Blake
We've seen the first color in our bed of irises. Purple! A good color for a Vikings fan like me (Steve).
Sara and I also planted a small vegetable garden. Cherry tomatoes, onions, chives, cucumber. The soil seemed pretty good. And we're enjoying the underground sprinklers, even if the grass doesn't seem to stop growing.
"You're a real gardener now," Sara just said, seeing a blister on my hand. I don't know about that, but we're trying!
