We've had a couple of gloomy and rainy days round here. As you know, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately and the rain wasn't helping. I needed to get outside and get things done, you see, and rain cramps my style.

As I was bringing in wet groceries and cursing under my breath at the wet weather I noticed that our garden needs a little TLC.

It is spring after all.

And then I realized that cool and rainy spring weather is the perfect time to work in the garden. So I hightailed it to the nursery, bought a few grass seeds, flowers and chicken poop and dug my hands in the dirt.

In the light rain.

Sometimes the obstacle you think you're facing is exactly what you need.

It was perfect. <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2009/05/little-green-lies.html">I love fake gardening</a>.
