#AD It is sunny and hot this afternoon so we enjoyed our lunch at the park! I was lucky enough to recieve a box from @momsmeet of @goddessgarden sunscreen and boy did it come in handy today! . . My girls both have sensitive skin and the Goddess Garden Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen is lightweight and free from harsh chemicals. So the gentle, sheer sunscreen did not irritate their precious skin. It's scented with organic lavender essential oil which smells good and helps keep bugs away! . . More good news? It's water resistant with plant based ingredients, reef safe, vegan, and comes in recyclable packaging! Yay for being #green ! #goddessgarden #momapproved #sponsored (at Stonegate Community Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wkMl5g9id/?igshid=13xsu1j0ryfm7

Spring:

[bethestaryouareradio]

Spring

“All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first

warm day of Spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I

can feel its energy, and my spirits soar.”—Helen Hayes

The minute the air warmed, I headed to the garden. Spring is finally here and without a doubt, it is my favorite season. This year it is especially meaningful because, this, my first spring article, is the 500th column that I’ve written for the newspaper. Yes, you read that correctly. Thank you all for reading and commenting.

People often ask me where I get my ideas for new columns. The simple answer is–in nature. When I am out in the garden I am totally focused on the tasks at hand. I listen to the bird songs, the rustling wind, the mooing cows, the fluttering leaves, and the croaking frogs. No earbuds, music, or podcasts while I’m working because the sound of the outdoors helps me be present to ponder.

Before I go out, I slather on the sunscreen and fill my water canister so that I stay hydrated while weeding, seeding, and feeding. When it is cold, I’ll wear long pants and a sweatshirt, but when it gets hot, I prefer a tank top and shorts.

This is what my garden gear consists of:

* Two pairs of gloves: a pair of surgical gloves underneath my garden gloves

*An Insect Shield® permethrin-infused kerchief wrapped around my neck to keep the ticks away.

*A scarf on my head with a ball cap or sombrero covering it.

*My garden apron with pockets for my pruning shears, sunglasses, and seeds.

*Rubber boots with two pairs of socks.

In past years, before I donned the Insect Shield® permethrin-infused kerchief, ticks would attack my neck. Three times ticks had to be surgically removed because they were too close to vital organs. This past week, on day three of the warm weather, I worked in a tank top. Alas, a tick tagged me on the shoulder. I only noticed it after my shower.

Tick Talk:

A word of caution for the year—ticks are everywhere. They hide in grass, trees, bushes, and weeds. They are bloodsuckers and will attach themselves to you and your pets. They also can migrate from you to someone else or to/from your pet. After being in the garden, make sure to wash your clothes, and your body, and check for ticks. If you find one, do not twist or squeeze. Use a sharp, clean tweezer to lift the tick, and don’t touch it with your hands. Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water and apply alcohol. Ticks carry bacteria and can cause Lyme disease, Rocking Mountain spotted fever, and other diseases. If you can’t remove the tick, call your physician as soon as possible. Contact your doctor if you experience an allergic reaction. The longer the tick is in your body, the higher your chances of an infection. If possible snap a photo of the tick and put it in a jar or Ziplock bag to show the health care professional. According to the California Department of Public Health, “An infected western black-legged tick must be attached to a person and feed for at least 24 hours before it can transmit the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.” Find more information at cdph.ca.gov.

The tick I pulled from my shoulder was small and I couldn’t save it or photograph it. Yet, my shoulder is still swollen and sore from the toxins. I will now follow recommendations to apply 20% DEET before going into the fields. I will also wear Insect Shield® permethrin-infused long sleeves, despite the heat.

Spring Action:

We have much work to do now that spring has sprung. It is time to get our hands in the dirt. In one week, we experienced torrential rain, followed by hurricane-force winds, and then the sweet sunshine of perfect days. The wild weather reminded me of a quote from Mark Twain:

“In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.”

Weeds sprouted like beanstalks while flowers, shrubs, and trees burst from bud to bloom. It’s going to be a long and arduous task for me to weed my hillside as the flowers and weeds are intermingled which means that each weed must be plucked by the root by hand. No weed whackers allowed else all the flowers and perennials would be destroyed.

What’s on your to-do list?
