Worth doing!
I had a very emotionally difficult day today….so, in order to give myself some much needed nourishment I decided to finally work on my garden in the back of our apartment. I went to the Home Depot and got a bunch of perennials to plant in my little patch. I also got two beautiful Boston Ferns for my front doorway. In addition, I got a hummingbird feeder, and a songbird feeder (with accompanying seeds and food). I then came home and worked about an hour to get the flower bed churned, ready and then put the plants in the ground.
It was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed working in the dirt, playing with the earthworms and talking to the toddler who lives next door. His window overlooks my patio. So I showed him all the worms I was digging up and he showed me his toy cars he was playing with. That was really nice. He was really excited about the bird feeders, too.
I am excited abut putting perennials in, so I don’t have to buy a new batch of flowers in the spring – these will bloom again! :) I might get some more perennials to keep in pots to line the patio, since they are on sale cheap cheap.
I also swept and cleaned up my patio. It is lovely out there now. I didn’t want to come inside!
