a blah day, but still...

today i feel anxious for unexplained reasons...like something is coming, but i don't know what it is. some days are like that. it's grey and white and wet outside and doesn't feel springy at all. i'm ready to be done with un-spring! i'm ready for warmth and plants growing in golden sunshine. speaking of which, it's time to harden off the brassicas and plant them. time to start another batch of seeds--i got some flower and veggie seeds the other day, one of which is chinese lantern seeds--i'm so hoping they sprout well and make good plants, i love them so, with their red papery packets. i'll be making more soap today, as well: lemongrass and lavender. they smell so good! yesterday i was thinking how i really need to plant a ton of lavender plants so i'm growing my own flowers for soaps...wondering now if the soap thing is going to fly as an actual way of making money, or if it is just going to be a small, random thing.
today i am grateful for:
1) the sunny days
2) that my kids are starting to read even though nobody forced them to learn on an outwardly-imposed schedule
3) eggs: perfectly formed lumps of tasty protein and nutrients...and another way to eat hot sauce!
4) my grampa phil. he's passed on, but i still feel him in my life and am grateful to have known a perfectly pure and innocent adult.
5) the ceaseless, determined beating of my heart. no matter the feel of the day, no matter my mood or demeanor--it still keeps pumping the life through me. a perfect creation.
