So I finally took the initiative to put my gardening skills to the test. I woke up to a brilliant sunrise and started working with a shovel and a spade while the singing robins and butterflies kept me company. Then I drove to Home Depot to buy flowers, garden soil, and a watering can. There I met a British woman while I was waiting in line (and loved her accent!). I'm happy that the small area of weeds are replaced with flowers and hopefully the sunflowers seeds that I planted will grow. My mum believes nothing will sprout but I choose to believe otherwise.
"But each spring...a gardening instinct, sure as the sap rising in the trees, stirs within us. We look about and decide to tame another little bit of ground." -Lewis Gantt
