Thinking Spring

How do you dig in the dirt and keep your hands clean....you don't!  It's that time of year again and I'm in my element!  Guess it all started when my Dad built a sand box for us kids.  Wherever I've lived I've had a garden. I love watching things grow and then preserving the harvest.  So nice to open a jar of home canned peaches in the middle of the winter.... "Hunny" got the dirt all turned in the garden last week and I've been planting.  Even saw signs that the radishes are coming up already.  More signs of spring...the horses are loving the curry comb, and turning their nose up at the hay I throw out for them.  Why eat dried up hay when you can have nice fresh spring grass?  Yup....it's a good life.
