It rained here last night. The air is cool and clean. the flowers are all saying, "what a refreshing change!" The past few days have been very warm and dry.
Yesterday evening I planted 4 new rose bushes. I am glad I got them planted ahead of the rain. The next few days are supposed to be cool and rainy. What timing. The roses were looking a little stressed before I planted them. They had been setting out in the hot sun in the parking lot of the store. I am sure they were grateful to get their toes into the cool moist soil of the garden. the fertilizer I gave them will help ease their transition and lessen the transplant shock.
As I look out onto my garden this morning, I realize that my soul is feeling a little stressed. School is out, the kids are home. This means less personal time for myself. I need to nurture my spirit. I think I will take more walks this summer and spend my evenings in the garden. The beauty of the flowers and the sounds of the birds always quiets my mind and soothes my spirit. What do you do to nurture yourself?
