Work has been swallowing up my days more than usual these past few weeks. I’m happy if I can disengage after a 12 hour day. When I get to this level, where 12 hours is a normal day…the garden suffers.
I drove by a community center today, a couple of gyms, and a handful of churches, and thought about the people who also travel for business, and find their peace in a workout, or in a temple, and they can find those things while they are out of town on business. It made me wish there were such a place. A place where I could go pull a few weeds. A place where I could go play in the dirt for a minute. A place to take a breath and sit and pause for a moment.
Enjoy your gardens for me. I miss mine.
I’ll see if I have a draft hanging around to share with you before I can make it back home, and back to the earth.

That’s intense. *hug*
Aww, Mia hugs! Thank you =)
Preaching to the choir, Honey…Hope your home soon, and can wiggle your fingers and toes in the dirt again….
Home again! None of this “free time” during daylight hours yet though. Tomorrow!
Oh, you are in great need of a weed-pulling marathon. Hoping you find a little spot of refreshment until you return.
Thanks!
Alas, me too. No gardening going on here. Just grass-mowing and a bit of hand-pruning here and there. Boring. Getting excited about the “fall marathon” coming up. That’s the work I really look forward to – getting the fall and winter garden ready for growing FOOOOOD!
When do you start planting your fall food? Last year I think I was a bit late (Oct 1st seed sowing outdoors) but on the other hand it seems too hot through September to risk the wee-ones outside…
I’m shooting for seeds in the ground by mid-Sept. Of course, nothing EVER goes as planned around here. LOL
