"In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold"

Although I've been sick, Seth spent the day working hard. Today he built gigantic, gorgeous garden boxes: two of them 10 feet by 4 feet each. They look much bigger than I thought they would. And in addition to the boxes we're going to add a large corner garden behind the lilacs. I'm ecstatic! Now I can't wait to shop at the nursery for seeds: string beans, summer corn, sugar snap peas, hot peppers, and we've already bought 18 1-gallon tomato plants. Hopefully we'll have a beautiful garden and yummy things to eat and can all summer.
