It's Srpiiiiiiiing time, It's Spriiiiiiiiiing time! :-)

*I* have been working in the garden today.
Granted, it's not my garden, it's my mom's garden, and I was carting leaves and pruning and stuff.

But: I did get to plant my mini-garden (three pots worth). I have planted:
- Four green bean seeds
- Four buttercup squash seeds
- Two sweet pea seeds
- Two cucumber seeds

Hopefully they will all sprout, grow, flower, and produce lots of yummy veggies for me to munch on. :-)

This is the plan. :-)



In other news, as I managed to miss the Memorial for Sumer last night:


*** From: "Loud Thundering Storm" ***

Proud Queen of the Earth Gods, Supreme Among the Heaven Gods,
Loud Thundering Storm, you pour your rain over all the lands and all the people.
You make the heavens tremble and the earth quake.
Great Priestess, who can soothe your troubled heart?

You flash like lightning over the highlands; you throw your firebrands across the earth.
Your deafening command, whistling like the South Wind, splits apart great mountains.
You trample the disobedient like a wild bull; heaven and earth tremble.
Holy Priestess, who can soothe your troubled heart?

Your frightful cry descending from the heavens devours its victims.
Your quivering hand causes the midday heat to hover over the sea.
Your nighttime stalking of the heavens chills the land with its dark breeze.

Holy Inanna, the riverbanks overflow with the flood-waves of your heart.

And that be my contribution to the whole shebang. :-)
