What 'feelings' do you want from your garden?
Q
Comments (32)
This is hard because my garden is so many things for me. Beauty, certainly. The beauty it brings to our yard and house, and the beauty of individual plants, flowers and the creatures that visit. A place to be in touch with the natural world, definitely. A place to run away from the everyday world, absolutely! Order? Not at all! LOL. Give me chaos and randomness and surprises at every turn. I want my garden to make me laugh or gasp and it does both often. Sometimes it makes me cry but I can live with that. I love everything about sharing my garden with others: pictures, plants, stories, vision. I want it to inspire others as much as it inspires me and I've had the extreme pleasure of having neighbors start gardening because of what they've seen at my house. Walkers turn into the cul-de-sac just to see what's blooming. I love that. So I guess I have to include pride as one of the feelings I get from the garden. (oh oh, Seven Deadly Sins warning!) I love having a place where I can be creative, but once I've done my part it takes over and changes in ways I couldn't expect. And when it gets out of control, I also like knowing that with just a little work (or maybe a lot of work) I can start it all over and make it something new. Surprise, delight, beauty, pride... my garden makes me laugh. Kate

LOL Timmy and cearab. I'm glad you could have fun with my play on words;-) I look forward to hearing how to make "Woodchuck sausage." I don't have curbside pick up of debris. In fact, I don't even have garbage pickup. I make a once a week dump run for regular garbage. Our yard waste has to go to an even farther away dump. I do drive up to Va every Sunday in the fall to pick up bagged leaves off the curb. It's about a 45 minute drive to my old neighborhood. I must admit that I sometimes find myself wondering, as I'm opening the bags, just what I might find lurking in them.....So far I haven't found any severed body parts! Thank goodness! I can squish a Japanese Beetle with my bare fingers but I sure couldn't handle finding anyone's fingers!

Thanks everyone for your good wishes and concern. I sure hope I don't have to go back for more. I won't know the biopsy results for a week. Keep your fingers crossed! Erin - Thanks for asking and I don't mind. I thought we were on top of things with both the consultation and the pre-op where we asked a bunch of questions. What happened during the actual operation was never discussed or mentioned. I was given a femoral nerve block right before they wheeled me in to the operating room. That was the first I heard about that. And no one ever metioned a brace that I would wear for 3-5 days or that I would need crutches. DH was there with me for both visits so we had 2 people to pay attention and he agrees that they never said anything about either of those things. I was told I would only spend the night if there was excessive bleeding or complications. Since I didn't know about the block or brace I figured I would be walking out there that night with a small bandage. I didn't pack an overnight bag for the hospital or had taken anything to wear with the brace (since I didn't know about it.) Home was over a 2 hour drive each way so no way I could get those things. We were both so tired and out of it, me from the proceedure and spending a sleepless night and DH from the driving and worry that we didn't ask the questions we should have when checking out. I am going to give them a call tomorrow and ask about everything. I will be very polite and professional, but I am going to discuss why I wasn't informed about the matters metioned above before the operation. If I am going to have to go back for more treatments from this DR I want to be better informed. I am making lots of progress so far. I fianlly got to take a shower, which was fantastic. Funny how you appreciate the little things like that. And except for taking it easy and keeping my leg up, I am pretty much back to normal. Clare

Do you feel old?

Nicole, I do plan to open an Etsy store when I get back to Cathedral City. It took me a while of studying to figure out exactly how I want to handle, but I think I have it figured out now. Everyone seems to say that one should never put their store on vacation, but If I did not do this, then I would have to haul my inventory back to L.A. every time I went back and forth. I finally decided to ignore this advice and have my store open only when I am in Cathedral City. It will be much easier to ship from there, and I have much more storage space for my inventory. I've already photographed a lot of my inventory, and so now I just have to work out how I want my store to look and how to describe everything. I've bought quite a few things on Etsy (including a couple of expensive clocks) and have been happy with the site for that. I only plan to have the store until I run out of fabric, and I do not intend to invest in more fabric once most of it has sold. Thanks for the reminder! The money will be helpful (although not essential), and it will also give me something to do in the desert, where I am much more focused. In L.A., I cannot keep up with yard work, and I really need to hire some help for that. I'm just really distrustful of local gardeners, as they usually do not appreciate what I have and are capable of doing a lot of damage. However, at this point, I think more damage will be done if I do not hire someone. I'm just not able to do everything for both houses. Maintenance in CC is very minimal, and we do have a pool service there. I guess I just need to pay for yard service in L.A. as well. This would cut into our budget for international travel, but that's on hold for now anyway. I don't think I'm too old to do renovations, and we plan to renovate our kitchen in Cathedral City in January or February.

Oh, let me just jump in here and be Ms. PollyAnna! LOL

I think all people are beautiful...young, old, middle-aged; boy, girl, or confused between the two; big, little, and average. All people are designed by God. The bodies hold the souls. If the soul isn't given over to absolute Evil, then the body is beautiful.

Now there's "Movie Star Beautiful," women and men with such honed, polished, enhanced beauty they can take our breath away; and then there's "Old and Useful Beautiful"...the lady at the cafeteria that always has an uplifting word for everyone; the retired businessman that's all over town in his grungy clothes helping folks with chores that overwhelm them; the "Overstressed and Underfunded Mom...or Dad...Beautiful," folks that put their families'/childrens' needs before their own.

Our bodies do such wonderful things as they tote our souls around. Each and every part of the human body serves a special function (well, maybe not the appendix! LOL) and for that reason alone it is a beautiful blessing.

We are more than a sum of our parts; and parts can get sick, or injured, or even removed and the body goes on. Some parts aren't supposed to be on display. Still, each of those parts makes up the beautiful whole.

I don't include babies- everything about a baby is cute! No, I just don't like adult feet. Once a human hits about 13 or so their feet are just not cute to me. I have no idea why, they just annoy me. And the sad thing is that I love to see all the new sandals that come out every spring. But I refuse to wear them. Not like I have icky feet or anything, they just bug me!

Knees are pretty ugly, especially if the leg is really straight. Even some models have ugly knees.

I'm pretty short so I have to look up a lot. Hairy nostrils are hands down the ugliest part of the human body.

Caroline....what you wrote is absolutely beautiful. Just beautiful.
I don't see ugly very often.
It's usually the anger coming out in someone's face that I notice as ugly.

Beautifully said, Caroline.

Khalil Gabran said, "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart."

With that being said, I think men's parts are funny looking. Sorry, but it's true. My mother said they looked like chicken parts. She was right. Never have been able to look at chicken pieces the same way again.

I can't think of a part of the human body that's ugly - we're beautifully made.

And many of us do beautiful things - but that's another story.

I think that I agree that I dislike looking at an angry face ... and I usually try to find a way to help dissipate the anger. But we really need to deal with anger, not ignore it.

As for dealing with one of the comments expressed ... I'd like to do so ... but fear I'm too chicken.

I do fail to see the claimed similarity.

Plus - I fear that I'd be in trouble again for what some claim to be my improper preoccupation.
