I am in the garden.

I fear my blogging days are limited over the next six months as I will be spending every free moment in the garden. We moved here five years ago and the garden was a mess. It hadn’t been touched in 20 years and the nettles were taller than my husband. Glass, bricks, rubbish- pretty much everything lived in those nettles.

The first year here was spent just cleaning things up and getting new plants in. I’m a novice gardener and am completely self taught. I battle every day with the numerous rabbits and deer that love to eat my plants. And it is physically hard work. And I love it! I just love it.

My healing work is quite serious and can be very demanding. People come to me in pain- physical, emotional, mental and it is my job to help them get well. I sometimes work with people that are suicidal and that can really take a lot of my energy.

So, my garden is where I heal. At the end of the day there is nothing better than to be in the garden with the birds singing all around me and watching those same deer and rabbits from a distance and just feeling at peace with the world.
