I so agree with all your sentiments.

My favorite sentence might be… “Time does not matter in nature.” Time is suspended in the midst of nature’s gifts. Beautiful post! Thank you!

I felt my breathing slow and my muscles relax the further I read. Gardening indeed connects memories, families and hearts. I recalled my children as little ones loving summer days spent with my in-laws in their small yellow country house with a one acre garden. How they loved picking tomatoes, beans, peas, corn and watermelons with their Gramma. Grandpa took them behind the garden in his pick-up truck where they delighted in picking summer apples, cherries and purple grapes amidst the tangled vines. I can hear them laughing and see them running towards the house with cherry stained faces and grape juice painted t-shirts. The evenings were a whisper as we all pulled up around the table and ate of the all the garden’s bounties, with some cheese or thinly sliced ham and Gramma’s bread. It was easy and peaceful. My children are now adults; both love recalling those carefree days, the crackly sound of the early morning radio, the smell of coffee and Gramma’s gentle pats on their backs encouraging them out of bed to begin the day’s harvest of food, love and memories.
