Each year, I look forward to Earth Day as a day of celebration. This year, I celebrate the bounty of the earth in a new location. What better way to enjoy nature than with flowers and blossoming trees lining highways and garden beds. Tucked away in Gainesville, Virginia, I am eager to plan my new garden. A cherry tree and azalea plants arrive from the landscape team for the front lawn and my new gardener is ready to dig backyard garden beds to spend time contemplating the blessings of my life move.
like flowers we bloom
with radiance in springtime-
mindful practice

Today is Slice of Life Tuesday at Two Writing Teachers. The artistic expressions: #haikuforhope and inspirational quote created with Buncee, are added to celebrate National Poetry Month 2021. Enjoy springtime and celebrate Earth Day this Thursday in your own way to give homage to Earth.
Carol, starting from scratch and planning your garden is thrilling. Every move we have made already had an established yard. We added to it as needed, but never started with a blank slate. Enjoy planning and planting the yard you want.
ReplyDeleteWhen at a social last weekend I found out that I needed to file an application to construct my two gardens and plant a weeping cherry tree, Bob. I am now waiting for the HOA's approval so one step forward and two steps back. There are lots of laughs I should be bellowing as I wait.
DeleteBlooming in spring... I always anticipate the daffodils, tulips and lilies. And the flowering trees. It is good to think we can help people blossom, too, by showering them with attention.
ReplyDeleteI circled back to respond to everyone and realized that showering people with attention will be my goal for today, Diane.
DeleteRadiance in springtime! Love this phrase. Enjoy gardening in your new space and home.
ReplyDeleteIt does take mindful practice in these busy days to remember to enjoy the radiance of spring. Lovely thoughts for this Earth Day!
