Today was a lovely day in many ways.
The garden is needing evermore work than we are giving it, but I am hoping that the seedlings longing for more soil will have patience, and that the season will be kind to our potentially late start.
Today T and I took action. While our garden is still 90% covered in lawn stuff (grass, those little daisies and dandelions), we planted seeds into little pots with potting soil we purchased at the nearby market.
I opened the soil, gave T an empty egg carton(just the egg holding part with the top and flap cut off) and a spoon, showed her what to do, and away she went, filling the sections with soil. With a chopstick, we poked holes in the soil, and into the holes went Arugula Seeds! From there we went wild with other fun seeds in little pots. It was super sunny and T got to be naked in our lovely new yard, I wanted to be. The sun is getting warmer!
I want to also share a sweet moment of the day with you. On our return home from a lovely and leisurely walk this evening(during which we got to watch the kids on the skate park and see how the biggins do it as T received a little skateboard for her second b-day), she showed a lovely evolution in her imaginator! We walked by a person, who she said hi to readily and friendly, there was a small exchange, and then she quickly ran along the path further ahead. She said "I don't want any humans." Then she told me, "I'm a creature." There was an exchange of "Hello creature." She also called me a creature by saying the same greeting. Then she said, "You're a Hoo-Bah." (Or something to that effect). It is so amazing to watch a human being grow so intensely, so observe every little change and growth and spark and inspiration. Ah. Beautiful!
Thank you life! Thank you T! Thank you to all of the beautiful people in our lives!
And thank you for reading! ^^
