Fresh air in the garden - mmmmmmmm
Yes, today I braved a session clearing up the garden, the first time this year, so it was a bit of a wilderness out there. The recent wind chill has been severe every time I felt the urge to fling some energy into pruning trees and shrubs, cutting the lawn and moving all the debris and leaves etc., which accumulated during my trips abroad over the past few months. This morning presented a "soft" spring day, perfect for tranquil manicuring of the wayward vegetation. Everything seems to have survived and the slugs and snails are not very active - yet ....... However, the plastic greenhouse and frame, having blown over in to my neighbours' garden - complete - one winters night, has been abandoned by me as a viable food producing unit. Unless one can tend to plants in it, on a daily basis, there is no point encouraging friut, etc., to flourish, only to let them die off through lack of water and t.l.c. (tender loving care..)aaaah...Think I'll use it as a little summer house for dainty teas on the lawn.....A constant companion whilst I'm pottering about in the garden is the most beautiful and blithe robin - he sits on the handle of the fork when I leave it sticking out of the ground, or chirrups whilst sitting on a pile of mown grass, then accompanies me down the lawn, flitting from branch to branch on the various fruit trees - true magic....luckily Shady, the cat does not enjoy gardening, just lounges on the swing seat - obviously robin does not feature on his menu - thank goodness for that ! He is a very well fed pooch (cat) and still thriving, although in his twenties.....! That makes him about the same age as me, I think? This morning I caught up with my yoga guru Louise again, and I must say, I think most people would benefit from this gentle exercise, especially as it is so exacting in the integration of breathing with movement - right up my street ! With that I leave you in the hope that you will always have good breathing, healthy lungs, and fresh air to make the most of it......'bye, 'bye..... k..p b.......g...
