I just haven’t been photographing much lately like I have been! Just been kind of one of them lazy summers. The baby mockingbirds should be learning how to fly and to catch food! So that should be an interesting subject! The pair of American bald eagles should be back at the Llano County eagles nest in September, or October! Kind of getting anxious in doing that again!
Mean time I just been doing things around the house and going to church. We planted a garden this year a small garden! It’s been a long time since we did any garden. I told mom that I wouldn’t mind doing some gardening so when it came time we got one started! I am disabled and my mother has cancer, so we wasn’t for sure if we could manhandle one! I couldn’t run a tiller so our preacher came over and tilled up the garden for us and I did the rest.
We started out with a little garden 50’x50′, and I had a picture in my head what it would look like! We got us some landscape timbers and made six 4’x8′ raised beds. We planted okra, tomatoes, greanbeans, squash, watermelon, turnips, beets, and lettuce. We had a friend from the lake to bring us in a good load of sandy soil from Tow Village. And that is the best soil for a garden in the rocky clitchy hill country.
The garden is doing great and we had very few bugs! We all ready harvested the garden a few times now. We got five water melons that are growing like crazy since we been getting some rain. I been enjoying myself out in the garden I work in it just about every day even mother helps and she’s 79 years old and her cancer is in remission. So gardening is good therapy I find it relaxing and it rejuvinates my soul! Maybe in a month or so I am thinking about adding two more 6’x16′ beds. Well that’s all for todays gardening maybe the next time I will post some photos of my handicap disabled garden. Until then enjoy life at it’s fullest moments and do some gardening.
