Someday I will pick green & yellow squash.
Crisp butter lettuce.
Sugar sweet melon.
A great big salad bowl filled by my own backyard.
Someday I will make zucchini bread and BLTs with fresh tomatoes.
I'll pickle my own cucumbers and bottle strawberry jam.
But today I'll just dig in the dirt.

Someday I'll finish my master's.
Write a book.
Organize the attic.
I'll go to an Eagle Court of honor and be the mother of the bride.
Someday I will have a kitchen with granite countertops, glass-front cabinets and no sticky fingerprints.
I'll read the complete works of Shakespeare and learn Spanish.
But today I'll just dig in the dirt.

Love it, Gabi. Amen & happy digging!
Oh, I hear ya. This came on a great day for me. This weekend was not a good mommy one for me.
Nicely put... and GREAT picture!
the school of life is the best.
You keep digging, and I will keep mopping.
I LOVE it!!
you have to start somewhere..
where are my shovel and pail?!
My thoughts exactly, and I am 51 and still am just digging! I think you will get there way before me! Something about the Arizona sun and heat usually kills everything before it matures. And how many times have I dreamed of those granite counter tops and my dream kitchen, I'm closer but not there yet!
I like today.
This gives great perspective. You're very wise. And there's dirt under your fingernails!
I love it when you do these kinds of posts! It helps me put things in perspective. A Zen-read, for sure.
Today I am digging in the dirt, I write this while my fingertips are covered with compost. I think I prefer the digging in the dirt to almost anything else.
Thank you.
I am struggling a bit with patience.
Really and truly...thank you.
I dig, therefore I am. Adios!
Make the kids pull the weeds! My somedays are here...weird yet cool. 30 days til my boy goes in the MTC, but who's counting. I need to stock up on Kleenex.
Hmmmm, I have the sudden urge to just go dig in the dirt....
That photo so priceless!
I am very good at digging in the dirt! The other stuff will come in time.
Gabi, you have the most wonderful way of writing.
I loved this.
