My heart is full of gratitude for my garden today. Just like life, a garden can surprise you. I found a ripe purple fig today. Blue blooms waving in the breeze caught my eye as I turned the garage corner. The Blue Flax plant was blooming for the first time! It is a low-growing plant with many little green-grey leaves. At the end of the creeping stem of leaves, there are multiple delicate blue flowers.
And as I move around the Arabian Lilac tree, I see an abundance of nectarines. This 3-year-old tree is weighted down by the red and yellow fruit. It must be said, they are delicious! So, as I spent time pruning, weeding, collecting, and raking, I enjoyed a couple of our nectarines and so did the resident squirrel. This time in the garden grounds me and helps me focus on the next hours working to build others up.
