I have found virtually nothing hard, except perhaps the wearing of a mask in a hot shop, I have loved the chance to slow life down and have others for once do it with me. Finding the beauty in the day to day things around us, the tasks we do and in nature is soul calming.

Jakob Regop<br />is that asclepias?<br />and I realise that what I have always thought of as finger limes are actually Buddha's hands - C.medica.

Bell peppers from the hoop house are sliced and tucked away in the freezer. Garlic are drying in the woodshed. Tomatoes are piled on the kitchen counter.<br />If I wrote a list of things we are missing it would make me sob. <br />In the big scheme of things, though, we do live a privileged life, and I try to stay in the present moment. To look beyond that is daunting.<br />So glad you and your abundant goodwill are here to visit on the web.KarenLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05896776299205927338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-6767379073077120122020-08-10T22:27:39.872-04:002020-08-10T22:27:39.872-04:00This post is amazing because we learn the secret f...This post is amazing because we learn the secret for being a content gardener no matter the size of your plot. You always exude joy in gardening, foraging, pickling, fermenting. I remember your other 2 gardens and I always felt uplifted after reading about a simple plant via your perspective, you seem to elevate the joy of gardening no matter if the plant is a noble citrus, lily , etc. Your foraging makes weeds, pinecones, berries into a delectable dinners/lunches.
