Say goodbye...

To clean fingernails...to hands that are pristine...to knees that are ever completely skin colored...and hello to the smile that comes with the first foray into the dirt and fades just a tad following the first hard frost.  Somewhere in my DNA rests a burrowing animal, a horticulturist, and a little boy who revels in playing outdoors!  Ok...so I only got 1/2 of the south bed cleaned.  I only got 5 dahlias planted.  And it took two hours.  But I be happy and reveling in the moment!  And you be loved!
