In an effort to practice a bit more self care, I’ve been intentionally assessing how I spend my time. So, instead of getting up and staring at a screen every morning, I am spending a bit more time in the garden….
I am making my tea, bundling up, and allowing the quiet space I so deeply crave while puttering around our tiny plot and taking in all the subtle changes I observe from day to day…
Pushing seeds into soil, making plans for future projects…
Praising the corn for it’s sprouting into the world and pulling the weeds…
It is a meditation of sorts that, throughout the emotional and literal winter, I forgot I needed so badly.
A few moments to myself to watch hope and new growth and so much potential spring up all around me.
Spring in the garden really is a magical place, isn’t it?

Whenever I am down, my garden is the place I go to pick me up, it sure is a magical and comforting place.

What a wonderful goal! I need to work on that. My first reflex getting up is to turn on the computer. As the morning get warmer here (it is still 40s here some mornings)I’m sure it will come more easily. Your garden is growing beautifully!

I totally love to be in the garden, just looking around and soaking up what nature gives so freely. 🙂

I agree. It is very magical. I went out into the garden to weed yesterday just because I wanted to be out in the garden. Not that it really needed weeding much. I can’t wait until things are in flower and I can hear the bees buzzing around constantly.
