Today was the first overcast, warm, humid day this year. This morning we had a thunderstorm and then it flip flopped between sunny and showers. While I was at the lab in the afternoon there was a big thunderstorm so everything was really dark.
By the time I got back home the weather was wet, but that's about it. It started to rain again and I went out and weeded one of the gardens along the house. Gardening is amazing. Its so rewarding when you've cleaned up a garden. Everything looks well kept and pretty. I don't much like gardens that are too straight edge/trimmed... They dont have that organic natural flow between plants and home. I can't wait til more flowers come out.
I think its fasicnating to get your hands in the dirt and feel and learn the roots and their structures. Some grow straight down, some grow like a vine above the ground while the others may grow in long underground structure. And when you've been weeding a plant and you start to learn that one way is easier to pull it fully out of the ground than another plant, its so... awesome. I love to learn.
