I spent several hours this weekend in my garden. It was bliss. I pulled weeds, watched insects, and chatted with my neighbors. I also ate mostly out of the garden because I was on my own and I’m quite content with a lunch of grilled zucchini.

I know everyone isn’t as enthusiastic about gardening as I am–what are your magical/blissful spaces and places?
