I can't seem to shake this tiredness since returning home
from writing workshop
It stopped raining so I took a walk in the garden
began pulling a weed here a weed there and before I knew it I was full steam into weeding
lost...so happily lost in thought of nothing and everything
Close by me was mama rabbit.....I know there is a papa somewhere...so many little ones
scurrying around. She got pretty close to me and started eating some of the weeds I had pulled...
to bad not the thistle...I wish they ate thistle....and goldenrod and nightshade...but they don't
In fact...I am here to tell you that little hare wench and her brood ate my new Cardinal flowers...and my newly planted Black-eyed Susans (since they ate all of them last year)
We looked each other in the eye...made peace and went about our tasks.....
Later in the morning I came inside for a drink of water. I heard chattering in the service berries
..low and behold....a branch of little miniature black capped chickadee babies....begging their parent for a seed or two...from my feeder....What a sight....thank you God....joy
What would I do without a garden to heal and comfort me?
...Two months...still no Handsome.....a broken heart I carry inside

Oh that beautiful bunny! and oh, Handsome where are you?
ReplyDeleteJulie bought a millet plant for me. I had admired her's on her deck last year, as the little birds would come and eat from it in the Fall. Well, here is mine on my deck, and the other morning when i went out one seed flower was chomped off and the next day the other! I am sure it's Mister Squirrel, as I have see him on my deck before snatching bulbs that were waiting to be planted. Scoundrel.
The garden is always healing....

I've often found healing in my garden too--There really is such peace isn't there?
ReplyDeleteYou are such a delight!!! :D I smile just seeing your blog name. :) And as far as sewing and baking bread...well, you know, all sisters have different personalities, qualities, talents, sometimes even a different parent *gasp* but you and I---oh girl, we are SISTERS OF THE HEART AND SOUL!!! :D I'm sooooo glad I finally found you!! :D
ReplyDeleteHugs, Angie
Oh, and ps, I want DESPERATELY for the little ChenChickadees to come hang out here in my back yard, please!!
you express so wonderfully. I am there weeding and at peace with the forest friends that dine on my labor.
ReplyDeleteI will wish for Handsome to return to you. Where oh where did he go. You are tired with a full mind and heart from all you have learned at your workshop...it's exhausting...rest! verification word, is calmest...go for it...

Lots of us love our gardens and enjoy the necessary upkeep to make the garden a space of natural beauty and tranquility. Decking is a great option if you want to make a big change to your garden. Some people with smaller gardens choose to deck the whole area while those with bigger gardens may choose to keep their space part decked and part lawn. We ca also decorate our windows by placing small plants such as cactus and money plant. More than it is all also very much important to maintain your garden. So we all should step forward to renovate our garden. As you think your interior should be good same while the exterior part should also be good to make your home a perfect place to live.
