It is that time of year again. Time to dust winter out of your abode and bring in the spring! I rode my bike to the farmers market to pick up some fresh gifts from mother earth. It was the perfect weather as it wasn’t too hot but the sun was shining bright with a warning of what to expect this summer. My eyes first fell on the freshly plucked strawberries and cherries. I picked some up as well as an array of other fruits and vegetables. As I walked my bike through the market I saw a beautiful display of daisies. The colors were so bold and captivating that it instantly made my day even brighter. However, I knew that if I bought a bouquet they would only brighten up my home for so long…. That’s when the idea hit me. Of course!! It is time to finally implement my new year’s resolution and start a garden. I explored the market and through my search found a variety of hydrangea plants ready to be potted as well as seeds for mint, chives and rosemary. Next stop, the hardware store for my supplies and then I was on my way home.
Spring Cleaning Agenda:
Opened all of the windows
Gathered every rag I could find
Pulled out my lemons, tea tree oil and vinegar (I like to keep things au naturale)
Put a pot of water on to boil to clear the drains
SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB!!
Although it was exhausting work (insert long sigh here) it was worth it. The cherry on top of my productive day was sitting down, potting my flowers and planting my seeds. The hydrangeas filled my residence with a sensational aroma and now I also have my herbs to look forward to.
Until next time….. xoxo
