Happy Things

New plants along the edge of my collapsing storage barn. All I need now is a red bicycle to lean against the barn.



Foxgloves growing next to my screen porch. A round bumble bee is almost always bouncing in and out of the bell-shaped flower.



Pots of Herbs. Purple basil, rosemary and thyme create a wonderful scent in my backyard.



A day spent in my yard, weeding, mowing and pruning helps restore a sense of order to life. Filling pots with soil, gently tapping down the new plants.
Giving everything some water.
Trimming the wild growth around the carport, so I no longer get attacked as I get into my car.
Pruning the azalea and mountain laurel forest.
Mowing the grass.
And then just sitting back. Resting.
Smiling as the birds sing.
