Booking It and Blisters

Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity. ~Lindley Karstens, noproblemgarden.com



Hi all! Today's BTT is a twist on the meme I've seen running around the Blogosphere.

1. Pick up the nearest book. (I’m sure you must have one nearby.)
2. Turn to page 123.
3. What is the first sentence on the page?
4. The last sentence on the page?
5. Now . . . connect them together….
(And no, you may not transcribe the entire page of the book–that’s cheating!)


Okay, I'm reading "The Horseman's Son for the LASR Book-a-Day Giveaway.

First sentence: "I'll bet you're going to remind me that kissing you is a mistake," he said.

Last sentence: The heat rifled through his body.

Well, now... we appear to have interrupted some smooching and this connection is easy-peasy:

"I'll bet you're going to remind me that kissing you is a mistake," he said.

She lifted a hand and stroked his jaw, fingertips feathering down his neck before coming to rest on his chest. "Why would I do that?"

The heat rifled through his body.

========================

Yep... another sign of spring! I have my first blister *G*

We had some decent weather here, yesterday! Finally... so, of course I had to go do yardwork. Our lawn is flat from being crushed by snow. It's so flat that the dog slides a few feet when she runs and then tries to stop, as if she's running on ice. So DD and I raked. And raked. And raked.

It doesn't even look like I made a dent, but I have the blister to prove it.

I also started cleaning out the gardens that edge the woods because I know I have daffodils in there. They're piled high with dead leaves, so I raked in there, too. I got quite of few of the leaves out, but it's not just flat in there...I have bushes, too, so the rake (and the leaves) kept getting hung up. I wasn't wearing gloves, but I went ahead and scooped leaves out with my hands. Yuck.

Is it weird that I can handle bugs, worms, frogs... even snakes and not get grossed out, but those slimy leaves nearly put me over the edge? Blech...

In any case, I think I found most of the daffodil plants. I can't wait until we have flowers again.

Only thing was, doing all that yard work alone, including the garden that used to be my mom's, really made me miss her.

**sigh**

Miss you, Mom.
