In moments of high stress, anxiety, or fluster, instead of hoping, wondering, or worrying, remember your double-secret resources of skipping, twirling, and humming.

Today's note from The Universe

How does my garden grow

 April  2014

 May 2014

 June 2014

Should have sunflower blooms by next pix in July. Tomatoes (tepee) are blooming, hot peppers blooming, oregano front right in pot, milkweed next to it - all kinds of stuff out there.

Back yard

This is a volunteer gourd that was thrown out last October when it started rotting (a Halloween decoration)

This is an unusual sunflower. Don't know if I planted it or if the birds planted it. . . Currently about 4' tall, thick stem, huge leaves, but the fascinating thing about it is that there are buds in the axils of every branch. This will be an interesting picture when those buds all bloom.

Dear Universe

I want to go home.   I want to go home.   I want to go home.   I want to go home.   I want to go home.   I want to go home.   I want to go home.   I want to go home.  Can you help me?

to forgive. Forgive everybody."

Happy Memorial Day!

Look on the positive side

                                Being excluded gives one time to reaffirm one's belief in the whiteness of walls, 

the silence of empty rooms, 

 the moments you don't have to worry about forgetting.

That's as special as it gets.
