sky to me to garden

Sunday when I was finishing the bamboo planter box, the gusty winds eventually cleared away most of the clouds, wiping the gray from the day.


Sunlight and sapphire skies revealed, I couldn't help but stop and gaze upward for a while.


***

I felt a strong connection not only with the garden beneath me, but with everything around and above me. Satisfaction, peace, and happiness. Photos can't capture the feeling.


A few moments to soak in the wonder, the beauty, then it was back to work.

But it's not work, it's gardening, and it's worth every minute of toil.

    Thanks for sharing the moment, Alan! I do the same thing some times. It's one of the great things about gardening: you're actually out there, able to soak in such moments!

    I agree with Matthew. Let's all stop more often and look at what's around it.
