The Smell of Spring

About two weeks ago, I was out working in the yard when I got a good whiff of freshly turned soil! Ahh, I love that smell. So I looked over in the field, and there was my husband, plowing up the garden. (He loves his tractor!)

We have a huge garden, so it takes a while to get the garden prepped and planted. We spent that entire weekend planting onions, potatoes, and peas-Oh my! Also in the ground are a variety of lettuces and radishes as well as green beens.

Planting a garden in the spring is exciting. It takes a lot of work and patience as you wait to realize the fruits of your labor...but oh so worth it!

This Week hubby planted some corn. So now that the bulk of the garden is in, we'll work on all the other stuff that gets planted later like tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, cukes, and more.

We had a few rain showers this week and guess what?.......

...little sprigs of green are popping up everywhere....radishes, onions, lettuce and beans.

My "Lucky Man" This picture reminds me of a song I refer to as

My husband's theme song by country singer Montgomery Gentry.

Lucky Man

I have days where I hate my job,

This little town and the whole world too

And last sunday when the bengals lost

Lord it put me in a bad mood

I have moments when I curse the rain

Then complain when the suns too hot

I look around at what everyone has

And I forget about all I've got

[chorus]

But I know Im a lucky man

Gods given me a pretty fair hand

Got a house and piece of land

A few dollars in a coffee can

My old trucks still runnin' good

My tickers tickin like they say it should

I've got supper in the oven

A good woman's lovin

And one more day to be my little kids dad

Lord knows I'm a lucky man

Got some friends that would be here fast

I could call em any time of day

Got a brother who's got my back

Got a momma who I swears a saint

Got a brand new rod and reel

Got a full week off this year

Dad had a close call last spring

It's a miracle he's still here

My old trucks still runnin' good

My tickers tickin like they say it should

I got supper in the oven

A good womans lovin'

And even my bad days aint that bad

Yeah I'm a lucky man

I'm a lucky, lucky man

To hear Lucky Man
