spring is in the air

Spring is in the air with birds singing all around me while I build my gardens. I got two raised beds built over the last couple of days with the bean trellises in place and they're filled and I can fit the other beds in and my darling Darrell is going to try and pull that old block apart so it will flatten out. Then I will get the last three beds knocked together and at least lined and the pathways covered with cardboard, and the straw on the paths. It is coming together beautifully and is turning into one of those dream type vegie gardens. My lovely man just digs the heavy stuff for me and smiles just like I listen to him explain sports to me and I smile.
The whole vision is coming together just the way I want it to with the raised beds two more to pick up the wood for and an apple tree to move real quick this spring closer to the house and then all the beds are in. The apple eventually it will shade the bedrooms and the smell of apple blossoms in the spring will make it lovely in the back of the house.
I still want to pull out the sidewalk blocks and use them for either the water barrels at the back or at the front. Then the bakeoven construction begins in earnest pretty quick which means I better finalize all my plans....room for a rack ?two levels a hot and a warm, and a rack strong enough to put stone on to cook on repurpose the ones out of the oven, holes for a spit to go through, as well as the bake oven large enough for at least a couple of pizzas or loaves of bread. Claybakers, pizza peel, wood fire, great clay, carvings of dragons, flames on mica flakes and quartz crystals, this is the next part of the vision. Along with the pergola and the trellis for the grapes, Jay's tree, etc the garden is going to be beautiful.
