Gardening for the soul
So this spring I have found myself in my flower gardens just about every evening. I should be taking my regular evening walks with Hannah, but she's playing til dusk with neighborhood kids and I'm in my gardens, weeding away.
I have come to find this once, daunting task, now to be very relaxing and soothing. I sit or kneel and pull and pull. The weeds actually come right out fairly easy as I've weeded and mulched in the past, but there are still quite a few to pull!
I counted last night and I have 8 flower beds! And I'm looking around the yard to see what else I want to do with it!
I also discovered gardening gloves this year!! I, of course, know they exist and have, I just never thought to buy me a pair! Saves your hands and nails a lot!!
So, I am really enjoying my gardens this spring, more so than in years past. Is it because I'm getting older and these types of things will now give me such pleasure, reserve and a great sense of peace?
