Thanks Red_Devil, for your thoughts about Mom.

And thanks for the gardening thread. It is my escape when I get in a down mood.

I love all my gardening friends. We used to highjack the other threads, then finally got our own. I have learned so much from this thread, look for it first when I visit FR.

I got to spend some time home this week, after a rough several weeks away from home.

My gardening is theraputic. I pulled weeds today from my raised beds, and am contemplating what to do for a fall garden. I was gung ho this spring, but didn’t plan on Mom’s illness, so things have been neglected here. I lost a Mandevela (sp), although I’m still trying to nurture it.

Getting my hands dirty and dirt under my fingernails has been so good for me. I need to chill out, and this is the best way for me to do so.

Grammy, I am so glad your garden is doing well. Some things you’ll do wrong, but every year you will become more experienced and fascinated with watching God’s creation become food for the body.

I call it “green therapy.” Grin

My LIAMS in the greenhouse are blooming! They are BEAUTIFUL! Thanks again!
