The days pass too quickly.

Don't you hate it when that happens? You make plans, nothing gets done and before you know it, months pass like minutes.

On the bright side I have started a few projects and nearly completed some...

The seeds we ordered for the front yard arrived last week and I've done my best to wake up bright and early and dig in the mud, as its rained, stormed and even had two tornado's.  I hope they survive the mud and don't get washed away.

Star flowers and Butterfly bushes in shades of purples, pinks and whites with creeping shell vines and hopefully Irish moss once we order it for ground cover.

I've always had an interest in gardening but never lived in a place where I had a yard and indoor plants always die, which makes me sad.

I'm not the type of person who likes to get dirty or doesn't mind getting into mud so at first I had trouble trying to hover over the ground, dig and plant things before my lower back started to hurt and I fell in the mud, having already ruined my pants and shoes I figured may as well continue crawling around and planting stuff.

After several seeds and plants were in the ground I was completely filthy and I didn't mind, I figured I'd panic and bolt for the shower but I actually had fun and there's a lot more work to do.

Now if the weather can keep from destroying them, I'll try to take photos of their progress, may as well make this a learning experience, as I'm pretty sure not all of them will live and it'll most likely be something I did or didn't do.

As for the other things, I have started writing again, a story I first came up with about nine years ago, I was cleaning out my closet, looking for my mp3 player when I found my stack of old notebooks, all literally full of story ideas.

While most of the stories are not that good, I did find the one I wanted to work on and I am having so much fun reviving and fixing it. I can't give any details away just yet but it feels good to be writing again, even if it never sees the light of day, the process is still extremely rewarding.

So, to any other writers out there that are stuck or feeling that empty feeling, don't worry, it'll come to you when you least expect it, isn't that the general rule?
