Slowly, slowly I am getting back on track. I can't believe how in a funk I was just a few days ago. Things are much better, it has taken time, thought, reevaluation, and soul searching but my heart is shifting and I'm feeling my joy. Spending time in my garden was a good form of meditation, bare hands in moist soil I pulled weeds until my knees and back could no longer hold the position. My back yard is a magic place for plants, things just like to grow. The vegetable patch is full of self seeded poppies that are gorgeous and lush. Tomatoes and green beans will have to wait their turn I've not the heart to dig up the poppies until they are spent. Tomorrow I'll head to the nursery and pick out flowers for the various pots I have around the yard-Impatients will be first on my list they are one of my favorite flowers and do so well in my garden. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Those poppies are gorgeous. I wouldn't have the heart to take them up either! Glad you are feeling your joy again....
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear you are feeling more yourself. Your poppies are so gorgeous - I think I will plant some in my garden again this year - but I will have to wait a bit, it is still too cold for them now. Have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden! No wonder you like to spend time working and relaxing in it. Being outdoors with nature is great healing medicine.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear you are feeling better! I didn't doubt you'd find your joy again!! And in the garden is the perfect place... I LOVE those poppies and miss them! We don't have them here, although I wonder if they might grow here... Much love, Silke
ReplyDeleteThe garden is such a great place to heal. Poppies are my absolute favourite flower. I think it is their similarity to paper ... my other great love and the fact that they visit only briefly. Thank you for calling by my blog. Sending you healing wishes, Pen x
ReplyDeletehow can you be in a funk with that ORANGE flower in your midst?
ReplyDeletethat is my FAVORITE!

i hate funks. but they are part of life and usually when we emerge from them...we are a bit more polished about our journey ahead.
happy wednesday to you.
