Neglect

It is hard keeping up with my garden this week. I tried to rationalize this morning that since it is so humid, that counts as watering.

Truth is I'm not seeing much 'fruit' of my labors. There is lettuce, but it is still small. The cauliflower and broccoli was eaten up by bugs. The lavender I planted doesn't seem to be springing up. The instant gratification desire within me is not being satisfied. It is still on my mind, but in a different way...perhaps gardens are best for the spring.

The cooler air and shadier afternoons remind me that fall is almost here. I am excited to relish in the time of year meant for apples, pumpkins, and raking leaves. Just typing about the orange, red, and yellow shades inherent with the changing seasons makes me smile. I am happy when summer turns to fall, despite the hustle bustle that comes with it.
