Celebrate the Small Things – 05.20.16

Celebrate blog hop

Today I am celebrating that we’ve finally got most of the garden in. I say ‘we’ but truthfully Dad has done most of the work. He did all of the tilling, laid down the felt, worked the grid and planted most of the plants. Mostly all I’ve done is poke some holes and lay in a few plants. Still, it has felt good to actually help this year. My health wasn’t very good last year, so I didn’t get to do any gardening. We just have the zucchini to get into the ground, which will probably be some time on Monday since we are buying the plants this year due to the cold weather and late planting. The zucchini wasn’t ready when we bought the other plants. I can’t wait to make the first stirfry or pot of soup from those fresh vegetables!

Since I’ve not felt well the past few days, there’s little else to celebrate. I am just barely keeping up with writing projects because my body is just exhausted. I guess I could celebrate that I am still alive… yes, we will celebrate that.

What are you celebrating this week, dear readers? Feel free to share with me in comments.


Each Friday, I join Lexa Cain and friends for a weekly blog-hop called Celebrate the Small Things, where we celebrate all of those small moments from the week before.

10 Daily Currents – 05.20.16

It is Friday at 2:54 pm and I am currently…

1. listening: the birds singing, my wind machine humming, traffic going by

2. eating: a small pork chop and like 5 brussel sprouts.. thought I was hungry, but I guess not

3. drinking: ice water at the moment… contemplating coffee

4. wearing: black shorts, blue t-shirt with a fairy print on the front

5. feeling: achy from working on the garden… still not up to par from yesterday

6. weather: warm-ish, cloudy, around 65 degrees  – expecting rain this evening

7. wanting: a massage

8. needing: a shower to wash away this grime

9. thinking: one more day of planting and the garden will be set

10. enjoying: just taking a moment to stretch and relax

I had a thought, dear readers… if you’d like to grab these 10 Daily Currents and write your own, link back to my post so I can share along with you!
