Rain Garden Today

It was not untill today that I realized how healthy and good it was for me to work in the gardens around my house for an hour or two each day. I was filled with gratitude while planting a few more perennials in the rain garden pictured.

The gardens take time, money and stewardship but it is worth it, not for the flowers, herbs and vegetables provided from March thru October but what it does for the body, mind and soul to those who work it. The garden heals. Even my hunt tonight in a large hardware store for a few parts for the rain barrels seemed adventuresome and left me with a sense of accomplishment.

With the early spring this year I have even more time to prepare, plant, care and pick the flowers and vegetables. My efforts to keep a vase of freshly cut flowers on the Kitchen Table from March 1st thru October 31st so far are working. Hopefully the tulips and daffodils will last until the next flowers bloom.

I guess you should expect rejoicing over the garden from a guy who keeps a daily posting on the web called “Diary of the Worm.” But the gardens like Nature are my teachers and healers. When you are excited about learning and feel healthy it is only natural to share your joy and blessings. Class is dismissed
