@lovendures Thank you. Such a beautiful sharing, and written like poetry.
@lovendures For a moment I had this wonderful sensation that I was transported to your garden and speaking to the trees and flying with the bees. I also went back to the class notes for our chakra meditation session and it’s so beautiful that many during class traveled with you on this healing journey in your garden. Thank you;)
Share the love and light
You know Share, I was inspired by some of the class observations to spend some quiet time in my yard this morning. Summer mornings aren't too hot yet thankfully. I believe the chakra cleansing was very helpful. I am working on putting my thoughts down for what people wrote. It was amazing to see their insights. Yes, perhaps they did journey in the garden. What a beautiful thought. There sure were a lot of references to trees and roots weren't there?
@dhyanaji
Thank you, very kind words you have shared.
Yes, they both can be sanctuaries can't they. I don't believe I have heard of the tall singing trees. I am now intrigued. Something new to discover, thank you. If I can get to the Colorado mountains this summer, I will be sure to let you know.
Thank you. You know, someone last night said I should write ( a book). Maybe that was the inspiration for writing today.
I planted a garden yesterday with my many potted flowers and plants in a communal space in front of my place. I am hoping it will cheer up my neighbors as much as it cheers me up.
This is something I have never done before. It felt good to have my hands in the soil. I covered it all with a beautiful layer of potting soil. Looks almost professional. It rained as I worked and I got pretty soaked, everything was so easy to weed in the wetness. Had to finish later when the rain stopped though.
This morning it is bright and beautiful out I am listening to the birds sing and enjoyed looking at my garden first thing today. It's not a mirage! I actually made this garden. Now I begin to understand why people work in the dirt. :)
@ghandigirl My garden has been therapy this year. I recently planted a new lily - fairy morning - and this morning it bloomed. Such a perfect addition! Enjoy getting your hands dirty ... it changes your mood, calms your stress, and seeing things grow and thrives feels almost like motherhood.
@saibh and all
Love the garden stories! We are getting a load of topsoil delivered today to cover that part of our yard where we had ivy removed. Excited to start shaping that space! We are planning a small rain garden with native plants and also have plans to put a fairy garden by the one tree with some dinosaurs, as is the tradition on our street. So fun to go on walks and see what others have put out - we are looking forward to adding to the whimsy. Will keep you posted!
I would love to see your fairy garden when you are finished. What a wonderful street you must live on. Whimsy is a perfect word to describe what must be happening in your neighborhood.
I sense your excitement and joy over working on a garden. Enjoy it!
Your lily -fairy -morning is lovely. The wonderful things about gardens is that they are continuously changing. Seed turn into plants, flowers bloom, trees grow taller, seasons end and with them come new beginnings. Then there are bulbs which if planted in fall stay hidden until spring and burst to life. There is the learning curve of vegetable gardens, what grows well in that particular sport of the garden ( too much or little shade and soil type).
A funny thing happened to me this week. For some reason, even though it is still very hot, our strawberry plants are still producing some strawberries. I had been eyeballing one particular strawberry. It was large and almost ripe. Not one nibble from any garden creatures. It was nearly perfect. So, one morning I went to the garden to pick it. It had completely disappeared. Plucked clean away. My husband noticed too and he was also surprised. If it was a bird, part of the strawberry would have remained. I believe a bunny stole it away. Those bunnies love our yard and I love watching them enjoy themselves. While I would have enjoyed the strawberry, I think they enjoyed it more so. They were waiting for just the right moment to snag it too. They beat me to it.

Love, love your beautiful ''fairy morning" Lily! The glowing color must be so much effusive in person I can imagine, saibh ... (now I have 'lily envy' ?
With the Cancer New Moon and the Summer Solstice this weekend, everyone's words are a wonderful description of how and what we can all do to calm our stresses, honor our Mother Earth and nurture ourselves as well ... it's about time for a renewed, positive focus on the regenerating forces of nature... to heal and nurture the body as well as the soul ???
Have a blessed and peaceful Solstice everyone ....?
LOVE YOUR MOTHER... EARTH !
We put the fairy garden up! And moved 8 cubic yards of dirt over the weekend - progress! :)
