April showers bring May flowers

May has begun and with that brings a sense of excitement for the warmth of summer and the fun that comes along with it. It's a little late in the year but we are going to plant our little garden at the community garden tonight when Taylor gets home from work. I've never had a garden of my own and I cannot wait to start one. We're going to plant Corn, Squash, Tomatoes and also some flowers. This morning I took Mercedes down to the garden in the Moby Wrap and started weeding and doing some planting prep. It's been a long time since I've worked in any kind of garden and I forgot how messy it can be! After a bit I realized I should have waited to take a shower until after we were done. At least I waited to bathe Mercedes, as she got a little dirt on her clothes also. Guilty momma. :) She seemed happy though, asleep on my chest while I raked through the dirt with my little hand rake. I love that Moby Wrap. I just can't wait to have our own home-grown food. I'm also going to attempt to grow green onions, basil and cilantro here in our apartment, as we apparently missed the herb season outdoors. I'm super excited! I hope they grow...
