Held by snow

 

a dried up curled up leaf

 

That about describes me right now

 

I promise to get back to gardening this year

 

and sharing my thoughts with you

 

I know there are a few followers left

 

who will love seeing transformations

 

and isn't the garden just that

 

transformations?

 

I try to be whimsical about my posting

 

letting you in on my feelings about the garden

 

last year I just couldn't conjure them up

 

If you don't go in to the garden....no salve for the weary

 

but that's okay.....I was busy being the salve somewhere else

 

But I ache for the flower petals, the dragonflies

 

toads....bunnies....bats

 

and the occasional stray oddity that has been known to grace my garden

 

just look back in my blog

 

I do have two resident feral cats now that have taken up on my deck

 

I have their 3 kittens inside...almost 15 months old now

 

My husband is well and the grandkids are doing fine

 

Little Tuula is doing the best she ever has

 

fingers crossed

 

I am going to keep it simple this year

 

no going crazy on planters

 

Iwill feel like a success if I can keep up with weeding and pruning

 

oh I am dreaming of a warm summer day...being in the shade of the pines

 

listening and feeling the breeze against my face

 

oh to feel alive like that again

 

so simple
