May 5, 2013 - The Iris Continue to Open

Today was another lovely day.  It was warm, sunny, and just a bit breezy - enough to keep it from feeling too hot.  My husband perhaps did a bit too much today, with the newly broken rib.  But I know how good it feels to do something, anything that approximates normal activity.  It's difficult to just sit when you're accustomed to being active.  He's taking the day off tomorrow, and will probably go back to work on Tuesday.  Right now, he's getting ready for bed, and will try sleeping in the bed, rather than the recliner.  We'll see...I know it took me a few days to get there.

I did pretty much finish planting the garden today.  All the seeds are in, except the second planting of corn.  I need to pick up one more pack of tomatoes to plant - but all the ones that are in now (and the peppers, basil, and tomatillos) are looking like they're doing quite well.

Something I really enjoyed today was visiting the garden that the after school bunch has planted out behind the church.  We also dedicated the labyrinth the youth have constructed - quite a lovely area it's becoming, out there!  If you've never walked a labyrinth, I recommend it as a wonderful activity to help focus the mind and calm the spirit, while giving you an opportunity for prayer and communion.
