As a woman over 50, I do notice myself becoming lazier as a gardener. It’s as if I conserve my movements and tasks to adjust to where my body is now. I still shift into automatic, where time just is, and my body is in motion with no sense of hurt or pain or overexertion. I am just more like a slow-moving dancer, instead of a fast-moving one! If I am sore the next day, that’s Ok, since my love of gardening will never fade; and I figure that’s what Epsom salt foot baths are for!
Where I live, summer is officially over. The leaves are falling, and the color of the sun feels more golden, like honey. But the temperatures are still hitting the upper 80′s, and I still have the fans running.
Sadhvi's Quan Yin & Cosmos
It’s been such a hot summer with temperatures above normal that I am not feeling too melancholic about it slipping away this year. Twice I had friends knock on our front door to escape the heat from where they live an hour south. The night temperatures did not change much here, but where they came from, they didn’t change at all, they said!
Sadhvi's Sally Chicken
With summer fading, I went out to take some pictures of what is still flowering. And to show you a picture of one of our 11 hens, all named “Sally”, after my Mom. It’s so funny to yell, “Sally” and see the whole bunch running fast towards me…it makes me laugh every time. Well, I hope you are enjoying the shifting of the seasons, wherever you are. Oh, and Happy Fall!
