April showers will bring…

It’s really amazing when you think about how all of this inconsistent weather will bring about the most beautiful garden. I would love sunny days every day. I would love to keep the windows open day and especially at night. I would love to not have a laundry room with muddy shoe prints. The overcast skies sometimes makes this oh~so~pregnant momma yawn repeatedly. The frequent too cold temps at night inhibit me from putting in my garden and filling my pots.
I want to burst out into sunlight. I want to break ground. I want to make things happen. I want to prepare for the upcoming season…get a jump on it.
I remind myself how I am not getting any smaller…and there is a summer full of heat ahead. Tomorrow is the first day of May. Most years I already have many more plants snuck into my garden… but not this year. This year I sit and wait… because all of this sitting and waiting is growing amazing things. I hope to harvest a double blessing… a double portion for all this extra waiting. Wouldn’t that be nice?  Either way I am so excited for the upcoming months.  I will meet the most amazing people.

But for now… I will just take it easy.  Grow a healthy pregnancy.  Watch the rain with sparkly knowing eyes.

I am very thankful…
