This morning I enjoyed another wonderful, quiet moment by myself, at the little lake near my garden. What are you grateful for today?

      Yes, I love this place. It is the pond where we get our water to the gardens. There is an old pump system that we use in the summer, but in the early spring we have to get the water ourselves. Today I used two big buckets that I attached on each side of my bike. That worked like a charm, I have an electric bike. Previous years I’ve loaded my wheelbarrow full of buckets of water, that is strenuous, since my garden is on top of a hill. Using the bike was much easier. There’s several hiking trails in the area and I love walking them.

    Beautiful and peaceful photo. What a beautiful place to get your water for your garden as I read here in the comments. I’m grateful for our sunny spring days. We had a rain storm last week, we can always use some rain. Just a day or two and back to sunny skies! ❤️
