Blooms.
From our strawberry patch.
We should have fruit soon, if the rabbits don't nibble them clean first.

Dirt.
Vegetable-ready. This summer will be the first time in a long while that we try for a garden.

Ingredients.
Simple and basic.
It doesn't take much to whip up some chocolate goodness.*

And there's plenty to share.
Potential. It's everywhere. In the first signs of the season, in the rich soil overturned, in an uncomplicated recipe that yields the best dessert. A pinch of willing, a scoop of desire, a cupful of determination; that's my strategy for tackling summer projects.
The berries.
The garden.
(That novel.)The berries.
The garden.
What are you cultivating over the next few months?

Love this, Christi! Especially: "A pinch of willing, a scoop of desire, a cupful of determination; that's my strategy for tackling summer projects."
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. I know you have lots of great writing planned for the summer. Enjoy!
DeleteI can see you tackling all kinds of projects this summer -- keep us posted on the gardening. We can share "green thumb" tips. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting my seeds and seedlings this weekend, Sarah, and I'll definitely keep you updated. Your thumb is much greener than mine! :)
DeleteI will embrace that "scoop of desire" with my own herb garden in a raised bed this year - basil, dill, thyme, parsley - all the basics for the kind of cooking I like to do when I'm not in front of the computer. A whiff of basil always makes me feel better.
ReplyDeleteYes, basil. Really, all those herbs sound perfect. I can't wait to get a few of those planted! Have fun with your garden!
DeleteI love the optimism of this post, Christi! Thank you for setting me in the right direction today.
