This 4th of July is a regular work day for me. Lots of stuff on my mind too. So this garden that I think I spend too much time in, is not just a garden but my entire yard. Stress is the demise for all of us, so I have this outrageous wonderful yard and newly established garden and if I dig the dirt to my hearts content, the stress just dwindles and fades. The conclusion of this amazing country space is that it will one day turn the whole area into a work of art, not just a garden, not just a yard of grass, not just a wilderness of unknown growth, but a work of art. It is Me and My Shovel! Alone in my ideology of the exterior of where I live, just me and my shovel and when I think it wont take long to work a particular space, today I spent 3.5 hours and dug, cleaned, and replanted wild flowers from across my road into the smallest part of the yard ever. But it looks clean and nurtured. I have a baby frog that lives in my garden. Teeny as can be and he hops around me when I clean the weeds. Today I heard the sound of a Gopher. Ive had one that followed me the first year Im here, and again the next year. The company it kept of me was endearing. It had a favorite log it jumped upon at about 9:00 in the morning and it sang me a song, then ran the full circle of the woods and continued singing. If you think Gophers have little to offer of their nature, think again, this Gopher was alone, though, and which I think the reason for its unbelievable offering of what a little gopher is about in its life. So it followed me, befriended me, but it was the fall of the year and the Oak tree provided mega droppings of Acorns, it feasted every day but it also dug holes into the pile of leaves that I made when raking the yard and the gopher played its in and out game. So today I hear a Gopher. Yesterday I heard a Gopher. Today, closer as it is, certain not to be the same gopher, I must go to the market to buy something this little animal will eat. So fun the things of nature and if Id pay more attention, I could have more butterflies, more humming birds, and missing the black squirrels, they might come back. HAPPY JULY 4 family and friends. This is a fantastic INDEPENDENCE DAY!
