Gratitude Spiral: Day 245

Today, I’m grateful for the first small green butternut squash growing in my garden this season.

Hopefully, the local groundhog is long gone and won’t devour it, like he or she did last summer.

Gratitude Spiral: Day 205

Today, I’m grateful for the first (and hopefully not last) pea pod from my garden.

The groundhog enjoyed the tender shoots of most of my pea plants this year, and those plants are slowly coming back. But a couple were spared. This morning, I picked one lone pea pod. There’s still a possibility the groundhog could return, so there’s no guarantee of more. But still I’m hoping. 🙂

Gratitude Spiral: Day 186

Today, I’m grateful for the roll of garden netting I found in our shed last night.

We discovered, as we watched from the back deck, that the neighborhood groundhog can fit through the holes in the garden fence. I knew it’d already been in there at least once, since most of the leaves on the small butternut squash plant had been eaten. So  frustrating! Now, the netting is stretched along inside the fence. Maybe the groundhog will move on to an easier target now? Fingers crossed.
