Megification

In Massachusetts (and Maine) this past weekend was a long weekend with a Monday holiday. It's known as Patriots Day and it celebrates, for all intents and purposes, the shot heard round the world. This day is always on the third Monday in April and starts the spring school vacation week as well as being the day of the Boston Marathon. The weather in New England is always fickle, but this is especially noticeable in the transitional stages of the seasons and probably more in spring than any other time of year. Some years the third weekend in April will deliver us a lovely wintry blizzard. Most years will just linger in the 50's and 60's and we'll possibly see rain, sun, wind, cloudy skies or clear and any combination of the above. But every now and then we'll get a surprise visit from mid summer, and such was the case this year. On Monday in fact the temperatures reached well into the 80's making for some lovely weather to be out and about.

This was also the second weekend since we started our little garden adventure. I find its invading my mind. I'm always looking forward to time in the garden. We haven't even planted a seed yet and I just love being there. We spent 3-4 hours on Sunday and a couple of hours Monday doing more prep work and our space is starting to look a little Megified. [Meg.i.fy - (verb) To make any person, space or object appear as if it belongs in a photo from a magazine.]


(NOTE: I've been waiting for meg to set up some pics for this and another entry I've written but have remained unposted. I've decided to post them without the pics, hoping Meg will feel bad and finally get the pics set up. Yes I'm an evil husband but sometimes this is the only way the husband can get moved up the to do list.)
