A Nice Morning

I was originally going to title this entry "A Beautiful Morning," but I'm a little too cranky for that. It is nice, however. I got to sleep until nearly 8, which never happens. It's actually cool outside, and it was last night, so our house is not the sauna it has been. Our indoor plants are perking up after being neglected for a couple of weeks. Our robin's eggs hatched finally. There was some concern about them since Memorial Day when she was off her nest a lot, but there are two little heads popping up.

In a little while, I'm planning on heading over to our garden. It's nice enough out that I may ride my bike over there, with the trailer in tow. Our garden is exploding! We have more lettuce than we need and our peas are ready to be frozen. Next up, we'll have green beans and zucchini and eventually strawberries. We also have a couple volunteer tomatoes from last year. The kids like to go to the garden, too. The big one loves the snap peas and eats a lot of them. I told her that she can eat as many of them as she wants because there's no sense in restraining a child's love of something green. The little one likes to pull up plants, which would be helpful if she were pulling weeds, but she usually pulls up green beans or lettuce. My husband needs to work on her plant identification skills.

It should be a nice day to get things done and enjoy being outside. (A beautiful morning to see and behold with slight change of attitude.)
