We have shoveled sand into a pile under the magnificent old maple tree behind the house - much better than the box of sand on the apartment patio!
We have tilled and raked and planted and mulched a new garden spot - looking forward to mustard greens, pak choi, Swiss chard, lettuce, green beans, peas, peppers, and cucumbers and maybe more. If you are in Tennessee, here is the UT extension booklet that outlines garden vegetables you can plant. There's quite a list for after July 1!
Hoping that you too have felt a little dirt between your fingers and gotten in touch with the deep human need to dig and plant and make things grow.

WOW!!! I love your house. My dream home has dormer windows. You guys are so fortunate to be home at last. Have lots and lots of fun in the dirt. Much love.
It looks awesome!!! Congratulations! And you are right. That's a fabulous tree.
That's so cool! Can you climb the tree? That was my favorite part of my grandparent's house, the climbing trees.
I hope you enjoy the garden- can you guys grow collards? They're my favorite greens, and my mom planted some one year and they sort of took over but were oh so tasty.
Owen looks like he is VERY helpful. I hope we can visit the next time we take a long vacation in Alabama.
Thanks, ladies! Shannon, you have to have a ladder (which we don't yet) to get up to the fork in the tree; it's seriously huge. Tracy, Owen's help lasted about 1.5 minutes more; hey, you take what you can get.
