I am planning my garden right now. In planning my garden I am also planning my garden party! Since I am here all of the time or most of it… I am having parties here! Something for me to look forward to.
Jason has been great about it, as he isn’t the party type of guy usually. Before, all I used to do was go to parties, granted they were makeup parties, but hey! They were fun, there were people there and I was helping them!
It was wonderful. So now, I had neighbors over on New Years, (that was even their idea not mine) so how fun is that?
It has been great, I am getting some nice surprise visitors and also some fun planned ones as well.
Gardening is something to look forward to that is for sure! Jason is even looking forward to doing more with it! Which is so nice for me. Hopefully he will find it fun and relaxing as well. He in the past has got the garden tilled and ready to go, but has left it up to me to plant and care for it as well as pick things. I find those things quite hard to do. Worth doing for what you get, and it is fun at times too when the pain doesn’t get in the way. But I had a hard time for sure doing it last year.
With my dietary needs and with Luka’s as well, a garden is a necessity not an option. It is the only way to reasonably afford the food we need. I just have to focus on making enough of it grow.
With Jason’s revelation the other day of him wanting to have more to do with the garden as he had heard it was a good way to relieve stress, my excitement grew. I have often thought how fun it would be to actually have him more involved in something like that. He does always help when I need it, but only if I really need it. Most often only if I am asking for it.
So his winter enthusiasm for the project I hope will last until the fall of twenty ten. I hope he finds the stress relief in the tedious actions of gardening. The fulfillment of having completed something, having made something, watched it grow and in gleaning the reward of the effort finding pride in knowing that it wouldn’t have been as successful without his participation.
I can’t wait! Not sure he feels the same but the sentiment he shared goes a long way with me!
Blessings and green thumb thinking!!
