Back to, Back

I want to introduce Suzi's blog formally because it's for a good cause and simultaneously, a good read: http://www.suziclimbs.blogspot.com/

I've known Suzi for 21 years and am proud of the woman she has become.

Sunday purports to be a beautiful day in the 70's. I love Sundays. It means a fat newspaper, A Joel O inspiration at 7:30 and some usual unnecessary shopping. Tomorrow might bring me a trip to the nursery as I have severe gardening fever and then a stop at AJ's for weekly provisions because I deserve the decadence. I used to love my gardens. They were the focal point of existence here. The bamboo that Phil insisted on planting and Emma's garden lining the entire length of the back windows as well as the bird house gourd vines that used to adorn the back wall were things of glory. I forgot about it all this past year when I got lost in change. I regret the way I let things go. But it's all coming back to me now. The hummingbird feeders are once again full in their red glory and I have a few constant visitors. I've raked tended and tilled until life is coming back to my living environment.

Feel alive, feel revived, I waited so long...............
