the weather has been so terrible lately that it hasn't been possible to garden yet. plus, i have been working 6 - 6.5 days a week due to the extra time for the dissertation writing. but today, i snuck in a few hours for the garden. it was lovely out, sunny and the perfect temperature. ginger mint, chocolate mint, lemon balm, and thyme are growing back from seasons past. i spent most of the day fixing the fence that keeps out the bunnies. and i did start turning over the soil and pulling out the weeds in one area. i hope to get peas in soon.

i am not sure i have introduced the garden at nancy's house. i must have...i will have to look back. nancy is my cousin through marriage (once removed maybe?) and she lives across town. ever since i moved to town, nancy has let me garden in her amazing yard. we actually garden where her dad used to garden, when she was little! the yard is a lovely natureland, beautiful and peaceful. and it is the best medicine/therapy to work there! thanks nancy!
last weekend, nancy and i walked around her yard to enjoy the beauty of spring. nancy's yard is a: Certified Wildlife Habitat - is a place that welcomes birds, butterflies and other local wildlife. All you need to do is provide the four elements animals need most: food, water, shelter and places to raise young.

after gardening, i treated myself to vegan hemp chocolate ice cream from down the street, it was awesome!
