outcry!

There was some general outcry because of my last blog entry. Apparently I looked miserable doing yard work in front of my house. It was a lot of work, don't get me wrong but I wasn't really that miserable. We've come a long way in the front of the house. That big pile of dirt is spread out and "settling" now, I haven't seeded it yet but will soon. Hopefully we'll have a lawn in no time. We also got a raised garden bed built, and have planted rhubarb, strawberries, radishes, carrots, spinach and peas. These, we were assured, are all early season plants. none have appeared out of the ground yet...but I'm hopeful.
We've got our other native plants in the ground as well. I'm particularly excited about nootka roses ( they are a native rose species) that are starting to bud like crazy. They'll be beauties.
Nothing but fun at the Griffith house.

This last week has been busy, of course, but the entire Holy Week experience was great. We hosted a wonderful Thursday night meal and service, the choir performed a beautiful cantata for the Good Friday service, and Easter morning was full and bright with as many alleluias as we could fit in. Now that it's Tuesday my week will slow down quite a bit and I'll get some rest.
