Those of you who know me, know that I am a Type A, linear-thinking, analytical person...who is quite emotional and intense as well...quite a combination. I do feel sorry for Alan sometimes:). Creative, artsy types of things have never been my strong suite, although I do feel I have grown in this area throughout my life...well, I decided to take on a new endeavor to further my learning. We joined the new community garden in our neighborhood...now this is me, the one who stood and watched my mom weed and garden my entire life and would have rather run off and mow than do any of what she was doing on her hands and knees. But, I thought this would be such a great way to get to know our neighbors, grow some fresh produce, and have fun outside with Alan, Oak, my mom, and anyone else who wants to help during our beautiful Michigan summer. So far it has turned out to be a wonderful venture....
The land during vision planning
The land today as everyone began their planting...what a great sight!
P.S. I also somehow got roped into being on the leadership team for the garden...which has used some of natural gifts, like organizing and planning. But, when garden members have come to me asking how, what, or where to plant certain things, I just shrug my shoulders, point to some of our garden veterans, and say "maybe she can help." But, it sure looks like you are having fun out here!"
