I really do love my job- but I find my mind wandering to thoughts of retirement when I am out in the garden!! Oh, the projects I would do, if I didn't have to work all day!

That is the way to do it, cityfarmer! Work in the winter and garden in the summer... Perfect!

Guilty is not the word for me. I never feel guilty but I do worry when I have to leave my garden. I worry that the person in charge will not water properly, dehead, and watch for suspicious things! I feel that they will not do the job the way I do. To them it is a chore to me, a joy.

I'm home all day, but when I went to my homesteading class I was worried about my garden. I tend to go out and check on it about 10 times a day and I knew my hubby wouldn't go out that often. It survived though, so I guess I worry too much.

It's the time of the season for...

Seeds are in the soil sprouting. They need a light watering several times a day.

If I have to go to town, I water heavier before I go, but the surface has dried. Bigger seeds are ok, but the Poppy seeds that are still not yet up...

My sister and mom keep asking me if we (DH and I) are going to go on vacation somewhere. I keep trying to think of a reason to go, and can't really come up with any. I have all I want or need here. I have all the comforts of home and don't have to work around anyone's schedule. I get good food (that I cook) and beautiful scenery (garden) and wildlife (chickens, toads, snakes, bluebirds, the occasional turkey and deer) Yes, I am retired after working 45 years. It feels great. I don't have lots of money, but I don't require much--certainly not for vacations. (Truth be told, my DH is such a cranky traveler, I would have to really want to go somewhere to make it worthwhile!):rolleyes:
