Life Hack: give yourself twelve hours alone in the garden first thing in the morning. Ha ha. I didn't write that - I saw it somewhere while doom scrolling. Today I started early. It sets the tone for the hours to come.
Mornings in the garden are the best. I wander about with my coffee and the hose, taking it all in. I have been amusing myself by making two little fountains, one solar, one electric and along with them a story diarama involving frogs. So much fun. The birds are really curious.
The manic feeling of getting everything into the garden is starting to subside despite the strange heat. Everything is planted and now trimmed with lovely surprises along the way like the Lily of the Valley bloomed, and oh wow - a radish, or holy-moly look at the Calla Lilly, then my goodness is that a flower on the olive tree? So you see the garden news is much more appealing than the global.
