Haiku My Heart–Dirt Bliss

DSC03513

Her hands love the soil.

“For me, this is Zen.” Suzanne,

The Garden Goddess

 

*************************

So this summer has snuck up on me, as I have said.

The back deck finally got its table and umbrella in place last weekend.

And because many of the annuals have been marked down at this point, I was able to stretch my very limited decorating budget to buy some lovelies to fill my containers and grace me with their sweet presence.

But time speeding by, the lovelies sat in their plastic store pots, lucky to be watered each day but not very happy with their root feet so cramped.

Today, with my friend Suzy, the Garden Goddess, visiting, everyone is getting new dirt, and new homes in pretty pots !

Zen bliss for my friend today, a summer’s viewing pleasure for me !

Thanks, Sue ! This haiku from the heart is for you ! Winking smile

So wonderful to plant a good garden and dig one's hands into soil, watching beatiful flowers grow. I am glad that you are happy and the flowers are happy too. Glad you got some help from the Goddess.

That is truly Zen! Expressing love through your hands making something grow... I think yur rock fairiness is Zen, too, Kim. I look forward to the potted garden!

Wheeee! I, too, for the first time in many years, planted some annuals in the pots at the cottage. I decided I didn't care if they were scrawny or didn't make it because I couldn't take care of them regularly, I just wanted their pretty headed wagging at me from time to time there. It has made it more of a home in some ways. I think even when I live in a warm climate where I will garden year around, I will still thrill to the happiness that flowers bring.

Oh my, those are some very happy looking flowers! What a gorgeous yellow. One can never stay down while gazing upon those flowers. They remind me of the Chuckle Patch from the Magic Garden. How I loved that show. And here's to good friends like your Garden Goddess, Suzanne! XO

Isn't it wonderful when we are able to provide someone we love with the zen that makes them happy? Seems like both you and Suzy were able to do that for one another!
