I'm having a good couple of planning and planting days. I was able to work outside and "create" by putting in a whole new planting area around my tree and a huge planting area at the side of my home. I planted lots and lots of shrubs and perennials. I just love working outside. My garden is also planted and looking great. Now it's time to wait for new veggies to grow so I can enjoy eating them. My neighbors are even starting to get "creative". I just love to help with tips and advice for anyone who asks. It's great seeing them working in their yards and planting now.

Even as I am watching my gardens grow and bloom this year, I'm already starting to plan for next year. Which plant I will move to which area of the yard and so forth. Always a work in progress and never a finished piece of art!
I have the garden started. I may make it a raised bed this year since it tends to rain a lot here in NE Ohio.
I'm so happy with all the color that's emerging in my gardens! Now I just need to plant, plant, plant (and take pictures too). A garden is a friend you can visit anytime.
Today was a good day to work outside and take a few pictures.

Life is a garden. As we add friends, our garden grows. How we nurture our friendships determines how well the garden blooms. Be careful not to neglect friends.
It's here at last! Planting season is finally upon us.

I was raised with courtesy, morals and manners. I went to the store today to encounter a store full of rude, inconsiderate, unhappy people. This happens all of the time. I would smile, say excuse me and be as polite as possible, only to leave feeling unhappy because it seems like no one tries and are downright rude.
I am not saying that they do not have worries..I know it is hard with layoffs, economy etc...and I am not in their shoes..but we all have things we are dealing with. Is there anyway we can go back to be a caring, helpful and compassionate society? I think it is only going to get worse..and I am worried for all our children's future.
Our kindness to others might make a great deal of difference that we can't see. You can never tell how one positive encounter with a stranger, when your day just completely sucks, might give them the bit of hope they need to realize there are nice people around.

You may not remember exactly what someone did to you or what they said, but you will always remember how they made you feel. Live simply, love generously, care deeply and speak kindly.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today, I smiled too.
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin
When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile and I realized its worth,
A single smile, like mine could travel 'round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected
Let's start an epidemic, and get the world infected.
Everyone needs a smile, so keep the smile going.

Living to me means writing, and writing has kept me living. Never write about what you know...write about what you've learned.
Writing cleans your soul when you feel dirty. It dries your tears when you feel sad. It calms your spirit when you are angry or mad. Writing is freedom from yourself.
A good writer can make the mind imagine, a great writer can make the mind believe.
