I'm Thinking About Gardening

Thanksgiving, just one week from today, is sort of a mental cut off day for me when it comes to garden clean up.

By the time I arrive at my sister’s house for dinner that day, I like to have all the fall clean up done in the garden so that I can give my full attention to making sure that I get to the homemade noodles for a second helping before a certain nephew does. Otherwise, I won’t get a second helping of homemade noodles.

By full attention, I mean 99% of my mental faculties, because there is no mental cut off day for me when it comes to gardening!

In fact, right now while I write this post, I’m thinking about gardening.

I’m thinking that it is a wonderful thing that yesterday I finally received my first seed catalog of the season, a sure sign that it is once again time to think of the beginnings of a new garden in the spring. After all, in just four months, give or take, I’ll be out in the garden once again planting peas.

I’m thinking about gardening.

I’m thinking how flattered I am that this May Dreams Gardens blog was included in a Top 20 Favorite Garden Blogs list by the editors at Horticulture magazine. I'm in some great company on that list.

I’m thinking about gardening.

I’m thinking about what a new reader would think about yesterday’s post where I wrote about not yet receiving a seed catalog and Garden Hoes: The Movie. With no knowledge or background on me and my garden, I might come across as some sort of a gardening geek.

I'm thinking about gardening.

I’m thinking that I am a thankful to not just be thinking about gardening, but to be a gardener.

And, of course, I'm thinking about gardening.
