For the truths that still confound us

[prairiesky]

I just got in from a couple hours working in my yard. I am feeling sleepy, sore, and thoroughly satisfied. There's a lot of work to be done: there are still more weeds than wanted plants, raking to do (from the mowing I did), a compost bin to set up, some pruning and broken branches to deal with... the list goes on. And as soon as I get to the end

Hooray for Gardens!

[anonymous]

It makes me happy to hear about you gardening again this summer! I realize that I'm not sure I ever actually thanked you for planting the garden last year; and I think I made more use of it in the end. :) So, thanks!

I also thought about planting a garden here this spring, but as I could have done that two months ago, I evidently still haven't gotten around to it. Maybe I still can. And weeding is indeed psychologically beneficial. Lately, however, I am thrilled with my 12-min walk to work because it means I get to pass by 9 blocks of cute houses with cute gardens displaying a vast array of colourful plants and flowers I couldn't begin to name, all on an otherwise normal, urban street. Somehow the same beauty never gets tiring.
