is go out side into the garden.
where i lose track of time and forget about everything.
I was eating crisp, sweet, fresh tasting green beans every morning for breakfast , standing there in my nightgown, waiting for the sun to come over the tops of the trees, the past two days ive been popping red, juicy tomatoes. This morning when i bit into one it squirt juice and seeds all over the front of me, but it really didn't matter because i had mud down the front of my nightgown already from planting lettuce seeds where i had pulled out the beans.
I waited for some friends who were coming for coffee this morning but didn't hear from them. I guess i shouldn't have confessed to my lack of coffee brewing skills.
so i meandered, aimlessly around the meadow and pond and woods in the immediate vicinity of the back yard.
Its the hot time of day now. so quiet. even the lizards have stopped skittering around in the leaves and the turf war between the hummingbirds has ceased fire at least for the meantime. This morning i witnessed a hummingbird hovering in the spray of the irrigation system in the veggie garden. It must have been bathing. I also spied several beautiful green and pink frogs, they were hiding curled up in the squash and pepper leaves.
I've yet to finish a book. I get so distracted by things like the wind, and the butterflies who are always circling the deck , landing and taking off and circling and landing again. Three weeks left to read, and wander.
im feeling like ....the need to feed.....like , a binge coming on.......so distressing. Good thing there is an orchard full of plums and pears and a garden full of vegetables and grapes.
well, im going to read. if the ADD will allow.
hope you're all well.
love
mom/sal
