If you are a regular reader of my blog you know how much I love getting outdoors, in my garden….up to my elbows in moist soil. I love the smell of the soil, I love the feeling of accomplishment….I even like getting all dirty and sweaty, like a little kid playing. Gardening is a way of creating like none other. Watching seeds sprout and produce beautiful blooms cannot be equaled.
I haven’t been able to get out in my garden for three months now. Mr. T has done his best to keep things going, but it’s not the same as being able to do it myself. One thing I’m learning during this time of recovery is what a control freak I am! In some ways that’s good and some ways……not so! Learning to let go and let others care for me and help with the simple things is more challenging than I expected.
When the doorbell rang yesterday, Skylar answered and came into our living room with the loveliest flower arrangement. My friend and associate, Holly Herrick, sent flowers to cheer me up and brighten my day. The freshly cut bouquet is so lovely, filled with all of my favorite colors, cheerful and offering love and hope.
A Courtyard Florist, here on St. Simons, put these exquisite flowers together and delivered them to our home. I’m loving and enjoying seeing them. Flowers truly do bring a bit of happiness into your life when things are not quite the status quo.
Thank you, dear Holly, for this gift…..everytime I look at them I think of you and say thank you for a very special friend.

It’s wonderful having special friends — how thoughtful of Holly to have sent (scent) something meaningful. Don’t worry though, before you know it you’ll be out and about mucking in the dirt. Take care of yourself! Don’t forget to follow DR’s orders.
