LESSONS IN THE GARDEN 5


 STOP AND....


It takes a lot of work to create a "natural" garden.  If it looks too natural, it's what my daughter once referred to as my "jungle."  If it's too orderly, it doesn't fit into the kind of natural, meadow feel I love.  It's a sort of plant this and that, add a few of these, and pull up what doesn't work approach-my artistic outlet.
Sometimes, as in all areas of my life, I forget to pause.  I pull weeds, trim a few things, water, move, sort, mulch, gather, share and generally wear myself out with all of this fun.

But it's in the pause that joy comes.
