week 12 - bloom where you are planted

One of the reasons I’ve been so busy and getting behind is that my many gardens have been beckoning to me. I’m not thrilled with the weeding part, but the exhilaration of seeing the grape hyacinths peeking up through the old mulch somehow brings up an energy that I didn’t know lay dormant for so many months. I’m currently suffering from the weekend warrior blues (lots of physical exertion on the weekend and sedentary office job), but I love the feeling because I feel so alive! The flowers announce spring and it must be savored because the heat and humidity of the Virginia summer is just around the corner. Love every minute—just like life. So I suppose I’ll just have to love those summers, too! Hail the spring, smell the flowers, be full of life!
