Dirt is good for the soul!

So today I spent some time outside planting some Gerber Daisies, Sunflower seeds, moving some bulbs around and of course watering my veggies. But the most exciting part of the day was when a friend of mine finally brought my tree for me!!! I am busting!!!! I can't wait to plant it tomorrow, and oh yes, pictures will follow.
I don't know what it is about being in the dirt that makes me so happy... Maybe it's the fresh air or the sunshine or the birds chirping or maybe it's all those things combined and then some.  The reason my blog is called "Barefoot in the Garden" is two-fold.  First, I literally LOVE to be barefoot whenever possible, especially in the dirt.  The other reason is that when God created the perfect world for us in the Garden of Eden, we were of course barefoot.  It's all about the natural way things are supposed to be.  Being close to nature makes me sooo happy... being outside recharges my battery and lifts my spirits no matter what mood I may be in.  That is why I am so adamant about being "green", about taking care of the natural world, and respecting the beauty that is all around us.
