I spent most of today outside. It was so beautiful out I couldn't stand being in the house. I finished prepping my vegetable garden and started cleaning up another corner for more flowers.
Lucy and Kelly enjoyed the warm weather as well. Kelly got the "crazies" a few times and raced around the yard, much to Lucy's delight. After the gardening was done I spent some time blowing bubbles with my little angel and relaxing on a lounge chair. As I looked out across Kaiserslautern, I realized how much Jon would love to see everything turning green.
This was our favorite time of year here last year. Jon spent time in the garden while I spent time lounging on a chair. We enjoyed many warm nights on the deck just talking and looking out across the community. The fields were yellows and greens all summer long making the view all the more spectacular.
I wish there was a way I could share this with Jon since now I'm the one responsible for the garden and maintaining much of the yard (minus the mowing thanks to amazing friends). Even though I hate it, I've been trying to make it look nice so when Jon comes home, the yard will be ready for him to plant anything he might want to get started over the winter or just so that the garden is ready for next springs vegetables.
I find it amazing that things you'll do for someone even though they aren't here to appreciate it at the moment. I know all the sweat and frustration at pulling weeds every week will be worth it. And because I know he'd do the same for me.
