So again, life was distracting me. I have been very busy these past few months. I've done most of my spring cleaning, so that's good. Yay, me! I have started writing a story - the idea has been growing in my mind for a couple of months now and it's very exciting. Part of the reason I hadn't been writing my novel is that I had no ideas for a novel. Now that I've got an idea, I can write, write, write. Unfortunately spring cleaning, normal housework, raising a baby, and gardening have been getting in the way of my writing.
I have decided to grow a garden this year. Now that Talia is over a year old and a bit more independent, I can take time to go out in the yard. I am really excited about growing my own herbs and vegetables. I stumbled upon a really neat gardening site - http://www.squarefootgardening.org/ - and I am going to try out their method. It looks like it should be simple and effective! Plus, I'll be able to grow a lot more plants in a much smaller space. The only downside is that since it's a raised bed garden, I have to purchase a huge amount of dirt.
I don't delude myself by thinking that anyone actually reads this blog. If anyone does, I am sorry that I never write new entries. I mainly write this blog to keep my creative juices flowing, and my fingers nimble on the keyboard. My goal is going to be to update this blog at least once a week. (Now to see if I can actually keep that goal!)
I'm off to research http://www.lowes.com/ to see if I can gather up an estimate for my gardening supplies. Wish me luck!
