I woke up one day a couple weekends ago to find my boyfriend MIA. This was not of great concern to me as I was tired, and it was the weekend. Though after a few minutes of debating whether to laze about in bed or not I decided to go out back and greet him with morning breath and all. Not only was he not sitting on the back porch, he was in the yard moving the earth, FOR ME!
I knew I had found a good guy prior to this, but this confirmed my beliefs even more. I have heard people say "I love you so much I would move heaven and earth for you!" but I have never seen it in action before. I am sure at this point if I asked him to he would try and find a way to move the heavens for me as well.
My love knows how much I loved being in my garden and outside "playing in the dirt" and how much I have been missing it, so he decided to do something about it. He has taken a corner of the yard and is progressively getting it ready for us to have a garden out there. He has spent countless hours clearing the area, pulling weeds, and prepping the dirt.
This weekend there are plans to put down chicken wire to keep the gophers from digging up from underneath and ruining our plans of a beautiful garden. I am excited as I will have a garden I can go out to when I am feeling up to it, and if not I have quite a few hands available that I am sure will be willing to help.
In the side yard the kids also have a couple raised garden beds they are going to use to start their own gardens in.
This is so exciting for me to have everyone involved in something I love to do so much, and to have a replacement garden for the one I am having to give up. I already have a few seedlings yearning to stretch.
