happy garden thoughts


peach rose, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

–Sometimes I’m almost embarrassed by how happy my garden makes me. When people walk by and I’m grinning at nothing in particular I’m sure they think I’m a bit off my nut.

–Chatting with some garden neighbors over the fence and we were talking peas and spinach and such practicalities. Then they remarked on how healthy my new rosebushes are looking and added, “Your garden just wants to be a rose garden.” I think they’re right. This summer is going to be amazing with all 24 rosebushes! (oh, and not to worry, I’ll plant me some tomatoes, too…)

–This week I’ve been cleaning all the grit and cobwebs off the porches–especially the back porch. I was getting everything all set back there for a summer of evening enjoyment (nothing better than candles and just sitting in the warm evening on the back porch). I realized that what the porch needed to be ‘just perfect’ was a small round cafe table–for a teacup or my laptop and for a vase of freshly-picked flowers in the center. So I told the universe that’s what I wanted and thought I’d wait and see if/when one came my way via a friend or freecycle. It didn’t take long. Said table appeared on my bike ride home from the garden. Thank you, cosmos!! :)

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
