Taking in a rainy day on the couch, I was watching my favorite MLB team lose to their opponent for the day. They've beat them in the previous series against them, so no worries for me. I fell asleeep in the seventh inning, and didn't even get to stretch or sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." The gentle rain helped to facilitate a gentle nap.
As I awoke to kids running through the livingroom with voices at full volume - I noticed that the noise of the tv had changed. Indeed...my spouse had turned to PBS - and we watched a few new shows that intrigued me. But, the one that got my garden mind working once again was this...Dirt - the movie. It was a documentary on the show Independent Lens on PBS. See local listings for show times. But, here's a sneak peek if you want to take a look. http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/dirt-the-movie/
I'm being called back to digging in the rock, soil, earth, ground, land, terra, DIRT.
I'm still perplexed, why did I love making mudballs when i was young, but now I have such an aversion to weeding?
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should reduce the weeds to a muddy mass and through them into the bucket. Hmmm, resistance exercise & stress reduction. Sounds cost effective!
