I miss green. Lovely, lush, dig your toes in it, roll around in it, feast your eyes on it green. I want to be hot. I want the sun to shine so bright it hurts my eyes.
I miss green.
This (left) is the road in front of our farm. I adore the daisies.
This is our meadow in the green, green summer.
Isn’t it beautiful?
This (below) is the former “natural” condition of our driveway, the old logging road that once brought big trucks up the hill to haul trees. It was grown over like this when we bought the farm.
And this is one view of the new farmhouse site.
Here’s another view.
I was looking at this picture of the new farmhouse yesterday and I could barely remember how it once looked before there was a house here, so I was inspired to dig out these pictures.
Not only is it hard to imagine that this house site was once a lush flat halfway up a hill, it’s hard to imagine it without the bare-branched winter trees.
But soon….. Soon! It will be lush again. It will be green. Sooooo green.
I can hardly wait.

Also good is looking at how things have come along…sometimes when I get discouraged about not being able to do everything right NOW!! – with my house and property, I take a look at the photos of then and now and realize how much I have been able to do.
I did the reverse garden-wise…there was a huge garden and mini-orchard – fenced to keep deer out…more work than I enjoyed to maintain. My neighbors (who have a backhoe!) wanted the fencing and raised bed stuff – we traded – they removed, leveled, spread topsoil – I planted grass seed to have a sunny spot to have a “small” flower and herb garden (deer don’t like the herbs) and hopefully a garden bench on which to sit and contemplate!…I’ll do container gardening for the veg.
At any rate, think you are smart for starting with the kitchen garden near the house. Go green!
And happy first Spring in your new place – it won’t be long before you can’t remember what it looked like with the trees bare!

It’ll be a while before we have that here, but since today officially *is* the first day of Spring, it’s coming! And hey, I saw two more robins in the tree behind my fence yesterday afternoon. :smile:

Our green time is now, during the spring. The rain and dampness eventually goes away and the grass turns yellow. Then we’re yellow all summer and into the fall, until it starts raining again.
I would love to have a green, green summer. :purr:
