Gardening

I have never enjoyed gardening more in my life than I

do this year. Even the mosquitoes don't seem to bother me as much.

Maybe it isn't that it is growing as much as it is what is growing. For you see I am growing plants from seeds of love. These tiny seeds that I received from friends this year, seeds I planted as our friendships began and I am watching them blossom and grow everyday. When I sit quietly in my garden and weed and tend it I feel their presence with me.

These women, farmgirls, friends.
