My garden has been flourishing in an unexpected way. Initially, I just wanted a meadow patch of native flowers to admire.
Once they started thriving, I wanted to try to plant some veggies. No yield yet, but the plants are growing quite well so far and I have high hopes for them.
This brings me to my next hopeful planting adventure....making a food forest. Perhaps on a smaller scale, but I think planting more edible things and useful medicinal things for this climate would not only make me happy…but also be helpful/useful.
I’m definitely no horticulturist and am only a novice gardener which means I need to basically wait and research and plan…all the things I’m bad at doing because I’m so much of a jump in feet first person.
Speaking of jumping in feet first, I’ve decided to try fingerpicking on my ukulele. The video recommended going slowly and doing chord progressions, so naturally I’m trying to tackle a song instead.😂
I was feeling a little dejected at my lack of prowess, but I got a late night/early morning chat with DW. In spite of being so busy this week and it being his Friday, he was very encouraging to me and offered helpful advice. I swear he always takes whatever dusty stones I’m holding and polishes them up. He reminded me that creating and learning new things are both hard and he said he admired my songwriting ventures so far and how he valued my input in his works as well which really touched me as he’s a more professional level of musical talent and plays like it’s nothing for him. I mean…he HAS been playing most of his life, so that’s probably just years of practice and knowledge. 🙈 But for him to want to share with me and value my thoughts on his work when I’m such a beginner really did feel flattering.
He also made it a point to remind me that I belong to him and that he enjoys talking to me and that I make him smile. He always seems to know exactly how to reassure me. With him being so busy, our chats have been sporadic and infrequent this week and I’ve been suffering with missing him. I rationally know how silly it is and I’m keeping busy, but there’s always that ache of longing for him.🙄
