I realized today, as i tended to my ACTUAL garden, like the one in my backyard... that WOW, i certainly have SO MANY gardens to attend to...
and in that moment, my earth-veg garden had been a bit neglected :(
as i spent all weekend PLAYING :) (with my family, which is probably the healthiest best, since i am realizing that i really need/want/value doing the things i like, and find some kind of a way for my kids to like them TOO, and for us to be together LIKING similar things!!!!
but my veg garden is certainly neglected....'i've been so busy'
truth, AND...
i feel a bit sad i've neglected it.... but/and, i've paid attention to make sure rain-mama-water took care of it/her.... but i let the beginnings of 'weeds' step n a bit too much, and i've left 'gaps' in spots where seeds just didn't grow....
tonight i took care of her, in the full-power sun... after a weekend already in full-power sun... so my burnt skin burnt a little bit more.... as i tended to my vegetable garden...
now in hearing/reading i have burnt skin, that i was letting get increasingly more burnt... you may think, well, that's not tending to your metaphorical garden!
but let me reassure you, this weekend i ALSO did that... a music and dance show with a great friend/my birth doula, then a sour beer patio night watching (my first, and winning game 3 of finals) Raptors game, followed by a FULL day of work, then zooming to be present at Terell's show for kids to see, and then enjoying a great street festival till LATE that night, WITH kids... then today sunday- started off with a drag queen storytime at a brewery, thus having a drink at 11am, and then meandering over to a famrers market to hang out with MORE great family friends and KIDS.....
then home to tend to my garden....after tending to my overall metaphorical garden....
and then taking care of my own physical garden :) my body...
after all that, im pooped, but i've got my co-op work garden to attend to now.... sigh....
it's a busy time tending to gardens :)
i give thanks!!
