Well first of all i would like to apologize for not keeping my blog updated nearly as much as i would like...time just seems to get away from me and lately it has gotten away ALOT.
This time year is a very difficult time of year for me! I mean yes i enjoy that fact that spring is here, the buds are out on the trees and that in a few short months i will be harvesting lovely things from my garden, but it makes me very sad that i will be doing without a very special person right beside me or at the least just a phone call away. This person is my aunt doris, who lost a very long and very couragious battle with cancer, she loved to be in the garden. She enjoyed the royal burgundy beans and the fresh lettuce and all the work you had to do to get to that point, she loved to get her hands dirty!!
So do i, i love the feel of the damp earth between my fingers, the heat of it after the sun has warmed it up and knowing that from all the seeds that are planted that life will spring forth and feed us for another season . Being in the garden makes me feel close to her , sometimes when i am out digging i will think of something or see something interesting and think "oh i have to tell aunt doris" and then the sting of reality hits me in the face and for a minute or two i lose her all over again.
She was a great lady, an amazing lady a force to be reckoned with , to me she was someone who lived by her own rules. I am glad to have known her !!
