Even though it's not officially Spring and the calendar is still on March, it's about 60 degrees outside so I jumped right into my garden. Gardening is one of the things that I most looked forward to about having a home. I love flowers (hence my blog name) and growing them myself makes me appreciate them even more. I guess that's how I look at children too. I can imagine how much I will love that child that I grew myself.
When we purchased our home there were massive amounts of massive bushes. Before moving in hubby cut down a few big ones in front which gave me some space to start my garden. The first Summer, I cut down the giant bushes lining our patio (about 10 overgrown evergreen bushes) along with some smaller ones remaining in the front. Last Spring I cut down the bushes on the side of my house, there were about 4, which were all almost as tall as me and just ridiculously overgrown. Overgrown shrubbery was not what attracted me to the house, but seemed to be the theme of our landscaping. So yesterday I cut down the remaining massive bushes in front of the house and today I dug up 4 of the 7 rootballs. I have no energy left for the remaining 3, so they can wait until next weekend. I'm so proud of the work I've done as well as the garden that I've created with the space from the bushes and after this weekends work, I have a ton of more space to fill in with beautiful flowers.
So of course my thoughts go to my TTC journey and I realize it's a good thing I get the rough work out of the way now since come May I will be KTFU and won't be able to do this kind of hard labor. Yep, that's positive thinking right there! Hopefully after my IVF, the only hard labor will be in the hospital delivering my LO in February. Which I hope that isn't too too hard.
