Today, another day off Monday, I could not spend enough time outdoors. I mowed the lawn. I weed whacked. I weeded and planted. I seeded tomatoes, basil, evening primrose, sweet williams, penstemon, cosmos. I even did some cleaning and straightening of the garden shed. I just couldn't get enough of being outdoors today. It was mild, a little warm, sunny alternating with overcast and showery. In other words, it was the absolute tonic I needed after being indoors for the many weeks of preparation for the show we just opened. There's a line in the play, "I haven't had my hands in dirt in twenty years....". I took care of that today. It was lovely.

I was never much of an outdoor garden type until we moved here. I love the fact that I know the names of so many plants, and yet I have so much more to learn. I managed to mow our little postage stamp of a lawn today before the thunder and lightening, and it felt so good!
Marianne...my backyard is just now becoming a real garden, thanks in part to yours!...and it has been such a source of healing these last few weeks....
