much more grows in the garden than that which is planted there.I am planning for a new garden. my front yard is empty where scraggly bushes and groundcover once stood. right now it is beautiful in its barrenness. but even more so as I draw. and dream. and prepare.
I study. try to learn the best for my purpose. I pour over design books and seed catalogs. the pages are bookmarked and dog-eared. all my choices would fill ten gardens. my eyes bigger than my stomach. but it is difficult to narrow down the selection. my wish list ambitious. my budget limited. my resources varied. my enthusiasm unsurpassed.
some will come to me by accident. happenstance. luck. good fortune. by donation. welcomed. unexpected. voluntary. some will be weeds. some wildflowers. beauty in the eye of each beholder.
I will start with a plan. to be worked on. improved. invested in. over a period of time. by trial and error. knowing there is always room for improvement. willing to accept the unexpected. I will have success. and failure. all started with vigor. laborious. at times tedious. always joyful. ever full of hope.
peace.
