How wonderful that the lilacs and the Lily of the Valley are blooming by you. Not so much by us, but it’s happening!
Today, I noticed the cherry blossoms coming in. It’s a cold and rainy day, but seeing them made me made me feel much better.

You’re right about a gardener needing to be patient. I can say that my garden has taught me patience and acceptance. I am not patient by nature but I am a good learner 🙂 The garden has been a lifelong teacher, and for that I am deeply grateful.
I am also grateful for the opportunity to be able to share these lessons with like-minded people, like you, who find something that resonates with them.

Thank you for your loving presence and ongoing support. Here’s to the seasons! 💖🌷

I love how you live and interpret your life experiences. Several times I’ve heard you describe yourself as not being patient. It always surprises me when I hear you say it because I don’t see you that way. As a gardener, patience is essential. Growing isn’t immediate in the garden or in life. And somehow, you allow for tending, nurturing, enjoying, and learning from your garden, in a patient, open way.

I love ALL seasons! But perhaps, I favor spring. The daily blooms are exciting to see. They bring color, fullness, and hope. Each day I see new blossoms coming forth. Yesterday was a banner day. The Lily of the Valley, lilacs, and viburnum bloomed at once. The cherry blossoms are out, and the irises and clematis are getting close to opening. Magic and hope abounds. And yes…excitement too.
