It’s time to get your hands dirty in the garden now that spring has arrived! I couldn’t help but buy a mug because it wonderfully encapsulated my gardening practices: “Whenever I garden, I wet my plants.”
I see that I am taking care of my priceless green babies more and more when the temperature rises. Nothing compares to the joy of seeing a little seedling under your care develop into a mature plant. Let’s face it, though, gardening is not always glamorous. It requires a lot of sweat, grime, and, yes, watering.
That’s where I use my dependable cup. I always use it to drink my morning coffee while I look over my garden and consider what to do next. I’m reminded of the simple satisfaction of seeing something grow from a seed to maturity as I take a drink. Naturally, I have to chuckle at the clever pun.
But let’s not overlook spring’s other significant feature: allergies. Even though I enjoy being outside in the sunshine and clean air, sometimes my nose and eyes disagree. When that happens, I grab my mug and go inside, secure in the knowing that my plants are being cared for even though I can’t be outside with them.
So let’s toast the arrival of spring and all the clumsy, lovely, and punny moments it brings. This mug should serve as a reminder to stop and appreciate the little things, such as a well-watered plant and a good sense of humor, whether you are an experienced gardener or are just getting started.
