“Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help.
Gardening is an instrument of grace.”

― May Sarton

100 days of summer day 2 :: tuesday
watching him run through the park without a care in the world, hollering for me to follow
happy that the bug study is still going on, and hoping he let the lady bug go after I left,
coming home to find that all eight dahlias are up, along with the green beans and the potatoes,
rhubarb ready to pick and scanning cookbooks for recipes,
listening to myself as I suggest I might want to slow down a bit, and get out of my head.
