I am a gardener, mom, ex chef, engaged, and a person with many interests. Far too many interests at times. But even so...my heart feels the most at home, when I can feel grounded. And with this comes a desire to cook, bake, preserve what is bountiful, and doggone it there will be a garden involved!!
It is a Paradise I long for, but not one that is fancy nor hard to achieve. It is not a place on a secluded Island, although the fruits grown there would be nice. "But a Paradise, that can be called generous, one which calls you to engage with its' every splendor. In this place, there are bees which dance and hum as they do there magical work. With their fuzzy little bottoms that poke out of flowers as they collect the sweet nectars, for which they thirst. A place where the sun catches the tiny wisps of hair like stems on the most fragrant tomato plants, which grow there. And the dew in the morning, awakening everything that is green and lush, as they reach to greet the morning light. In this Paradise, I find things bittersweet, as it reminds me of days gone by. And it's as if they were only a dream. I do not have pictures, but in my heart and mind their memories live. This is where my soul finds peace. Where I feel the most life. It is a treasured kind of connection and one which can not be matched. For in this perfect Paradise, beats my heart and finds true pride. As I watch the fruits of all my hard labor, spring into abundant life. My garden is this to me and so much more. And if you crave some bit of whimsy and solitude, you too will find such a place to call yours. Until then , please join me here as I share my daily love and chore (s). With a humbled heart filled with love and gratitude, to my readers here, I open up my life's door. Welcome to my Paradise and please do not wake me from this dream, it is beautiful here in every which way, even if unseen.
