The other night I was treated to a great dinner at a Mexican restaurant with my good friend, Lela, her family, and my husband and kids. I’ve known Lela for more than 20 years, and she has become like a sister to me!
She noticed that I was wearing the lovely charm bracelet she gave me a few months ago for my birthday, as well as a two-peas-in-a-pod green and silver charm that I’ve added to it. She noted that she loved my “gardening” charm. I bought the charm to symbolize my twins, but it really is a great charm to represent the gardening that both she and I enjoy! (Lela is a much better gardener than I am, but that is besides the point!)
Chatting about the charm made me remember that Lela always starts her garden in March, by planting peas around St. Patrick’s Day. So, I decided to get started on my garden, since my daughters totally enjoy eating fresh peas straight from the garden in the spring and summer!
As you can see, I haven’t started working on my garden yet, but I did purchase a few packets of organic Burpee pea seeds from the Home Depot yesterday!
Just thinking about getting back to the garden makes me feel happy — just like this print I found on Etsy:
