Digging Today

What does the word, 'digging,' suggest to you?  Turning over piles of clothes in yard sales?  Sorting through mounds of books at flea markets?  Planting flowers or vegetables?  Creating a new irrigation ditch?  Searching through documents in hopes of finding more ancestors? Or all of the above?

Today was the Derby Day in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A., the day our area is statistically past all threat of frosty, freezing weather.  It was warm and dry, perfect for working in the yard planting tomatoes and flowers. So, that's what I did, happily, dig places for two tomato plants and lots of flowers, a good start to beautify my yard with color.

 Thought I'd try putting my tomato plants in pots instead of in the ground.  Perhaps they'll produce more.  And I could easily wrap netting around them to keep out the critters.  The two cages fit in the pots easily.  The rest have flowers.

Just flowers - I liked the colors.  I've heard that red flowers attract hummingbirds.

I also reassembled the bird feeder and filled it with water for the first time this year.  I have a lot of weeds already.  So what!  I've got the whole summer to get rid of them!

Be sure and spend some time, take the time, just to do something fun for yourself!
