One thing with spring being here and summer creeping in slowly is that we are able to be outside and commune with Mother Nature more. Which means that we can start all the planting and pruning that winter hid and now is peeking out!

One thing that will be a top on the list is the area by the pond. This year the pond is number one priority. The wonderful sound of the water is so peaceful, especially for meditations in the evening. Alas the pump is a little noisy so it is a pain but getting estimates on pond pumps is a must do!

While out re-planting and taking care of the yards it is a good time to pay thanks to Mother Nature for her gifts of beauty that are once again at our finger tips. Feeling the dirt within our fingers brings us closer to her!

Enjoy the time that you are doing these chores. After all in a very large way you are giving something back to the Mother!
