The silver lining of my spring break was gardening with my mom and brother. When I was younger, we used to garden frequently in the summer. It was always one of the highlights for me. Once I got to middle school and my little brother and I started swim club, we didn’t garden nearly as much. Since this year our spring break plans were canceled, and we were stuck at home, it gave us the opportunity to garden again. It was nice to get out in the sunshine with my mom and brother and we cleaned up not only the flower beds but also planted some vegetables too. It was a better pastime than watching TV and sleeping. the only downside was that I had to keep taking my cat out of the garden before she ate the plants. It was great to get back out in the back yard and I guess I’m glad this whole mess gave me that.
