This post is from 7/14/12. It’s not so much of a “best of blog” for the writing but for what gardening means to me. I was so happy to be able to get out and weed. My garden used to be a sanctuary and I’ve really missed being able to work out there on a regular basis. I know that it’s only a matter of time until my schedule and body cooperate so that I can get out there again and do some real work. Unlike my daily walking, the gardening involves physical movement that is not as controlled and emphasizes my right upper body, you know the part that keeps getting surgery. Currently, I am physically up to it but my schedule is crazy until the surgery. My wonderful hubby did some clean up for my last weekend and it made a world of difference. I try not to look at the amount of grass that is invading the flowers and ground covers.
I got to get out in the yard and weed this morning. Yay! Here are some pictures of my Jungle of Delights!
Nice to hear you are back out there in the garden. I can relate, because I was sick recently and couldn’t get the energy to go outdoors. It’s wonderful to be out in the fresh air again, isn’t it? Your garden is beautiful.
That’s such a nice compliment from an artist. Thanks so much for the compliment as well as visiting my blog!
