Take a closer look at the smaller things. . . . those you may take for granted.
Yesterday started out under thick, low cloud cover.
Coffee mug in hand, camera around neck, in dressing gown and flip flops,
I quietly let myself out into the garden.
I've had to do my own mini pedicure to enable being seen in open toe sandals
this week - sweet Ms. Kim, my pedi lady is probably missing me, as I am her by now!
As for my gel finger nails, don't get me started, just know I need my sweet
Ms. My Lihn more than ever before!!!
I only managed a few hours sleep, found myself reading at bedtime and
then again at 3:00 AM. One of those lousy nights I'm having more often lately - can
I blame COVID-19?

I needed fresh air.
garden is still lovely even without sunshine.
Dampness brings out full fragrance of the jasmine billowing over the fences,
the mint and rosemary standing tall perfume the air as I pass by.
The new, still tiny, basil shoots when gently rubbed between my fingers, bring
thoughts of making pesto when summertime arrives.
Yes, wildlife was awake too! A naughty rabbit was already eyeing my small
tomato patch. A brown thrasher was busy breakfasting on the suet cake,
the bluest Eastern bluebird and pair of wrens were on the big feeder. . . . .
and all around birds were singing and calling from the trees.
Early morning does not allow you to take the small, beautiful things
for granted - especially in a spring garden.
