Easter Baskets and Herb garden planted very early April 2012. What a wonderful thing to have flowers this early and a tomato plant growing so proudly. Roma tomatoes are great sliced on toasted baguette rounds. The herbs (basil, thyme, chives) are so expensive to purchase at the grocery. These are things I did not know how to use, really until recently. As much as I've cooked and loved to experiment, I just had no idea about what to do with fresh herbs. At the end of my life, I will be just about ready to live a full and productive life the way I have always dreamed. I could even live 10 more lives as I learn all the time what is worth saving and what is useless and empty. Mostly it's the children, precious relationships, and the beauty of nature and animals which are worth saving. If I could do something else now, it would be to raise my own hens. That's just one of the things I would love to do. Life is so short. It forces us to adjust and change our expectations. Even though I will not likely raise chickens, I just keep dreaming what it would be like.
Every spring is a new beginning. Today is Easter. I know Jesus created all of this beauty for me and for each of us. Happy Easter to my children and grandchildren. Happy Easter to my precious friends and to each of my readers. Live each day in beauty and gratitude.
