[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 758138, member: 22840"] Hey Jmom, I'm doing good. Hope you are too. My digging in the dirt lately is mostly weeding, ha! I do have flowers, I moved more toward perennials so I'm not buying and planting a bunch each year. This year that worked out really well, no wrestling with my conscience over whether to take a trip to pick up plants would be risking corona virus spread. I have huge gladiolas in all different colors blooming now. They don't all bloom at the same time so it's kind of cool to see them come and go as they do. I have a couple of neighbors across the street from me who like the view they get of the different colors as the flowers bloom now that they are working from home. There's also something amazing that's been going on more and more over the last few years with what I thought were annuals. I planted snap dragons in a flower bed in the front of my house. The snapdragons no longer come up where I planted them but they have started coming up in the rocks around bushes I have right in front and on the side of my house. They also come up in the spaces between the walkway blocks. I've learned to identify them and weed around them. This year I have a real bumper crop, just beautiful. I think maybe this happened because I have bee balm in the flower beds which attracts bees and butterflys.

I find for me, barefoot walking around or sitting on the ground doing whatever really has a way to bring me back to simple things and balance me out. As far as that puppy goes, holy smokes is he getting big! He is just so cute and so excited when he see's me and a couple of the other neighbors who visit. He's being trained and learning not to jump and "taste" us so much these days, which is good for me because I have very thin skin on my hands.
