Bunceeing a Thought on Earth Day

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

  1. 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.

    1. When 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.

  2. Blooming 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.

    1. I circled back to respond to everyone and realized that showering people with attention will be my goal for today, Diane.
