Saturday Morning Tranquility.

I can’t remember the last time I simply sat outside on a Saturday morning, sipped coffee, and read a magazine. Usually at home I’m always thinking of the next thing that needs to get done or I’m on some kind of schedule – generally self-imposed, mind you. Not today.

The Glory of Gardening.

“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.” – Alfred Austin What is it about the garden that just calms me? I didn’t do much tonight except some stray weeding but even that […] Read more…
