It Keeps Me Honest

This past weekend my gardening season began in earnest,

and

I am better for it.


It keeps me honest.


”Wax on- wax off.”
As in simple, hard , physical work.

Remember that line from Karate Kid?

I was aided by fragrance everywhere.

My jasmine is blooming-

and my orange trees are blooming.


Heaven .

I wish this photo had a scratch and sniff feature

so you could experience it too.


And so,

I do better when I work.


And yes, I sometimes work too hard,

and my muscles hurt,

and as a result I walk funny,

and my yard clothes get as dirty as a toddler’s,

but I have a smile on my face,

and

today for the first time this year,

I ran the water hose all over my face.



Heaven.
