i'm dreaming of...

--Dirt under my fingernails
--The tractor without a snowblower attachment
--Flip flops
--Floppy hats
--Fresh herbs and veggies to pick for dinner
--The back door hanging open
--Green grass
--The smell of warm air
--Eating dinner outdoors
--Flowers blooming
--Leaves on the trees
--Butterflies

Oh yes! May I sit and dream with you? It sounds so lovely. I had to smile at the "Dirt under the fingernails" People are always telling me to wear gardrmomh h;pbrd. niy yjr dpo; gr4

Sorry about that. I hit the wrong key and it printed gobbledygook.

As I was saying.... Gardening gloves just don't do it for me. The soil feels so wonderful in my hands.
Surely it won't be too long now. Just smell that air!

I hate to admit it, but I have to wear leather gloves most of the time... when weeding because of all the thistle we have and when digging because, though I'm not proud of it, I've never had a 'labored' life and my hands blister quite easily. I grew up with 3 brothers and my dad, then I raised 3 sons with my husband... there's always been someone around to do the heavy stuff, ya know? I've been lucky. Also, I adore, dote on and love my girlfriends like nobody's business!!

Oh...I loved that post. I woke up to another dusting of snow...it's pretty...but enough already! One more to add, when I read flip-flops I immediately thought of
"warm concrete under bare feet" - could that be because my feet are so cold even in fuzzy slippers while I sit here typing?
Great blog!

ahhh yes. being barefoot. i'm normally barefoot yearround (not when i go outside in the winter, of course), but i stopped going barefoot in the grass 2 summers ago when our dog caught lyme disease... so yes, we can add barefoot on warm concrete, for sure!

Oh I share your dreams! Liza your blog is lovely and about the littens post, you did a wonderful thing for your boys exposing them to life and death and birth also! We too at the farm have many cats dropped off. We try to get them spade or neutured, spend a fortune doing so also, but its impossible to catch every one that just shows up. BUT, we feed them, we care for them, give them shelter, and they are loved.

I share your dreams.
Thanks for stopping by the WhistleStop Cafe!
