This is 25% complete. What an amazing project of love! I started gardening while injured, with my walker, cane and wheelchair 16 years ago. It never stopped me. I have learned so much from the garden. Patience, nurturing, and the cycles of what we think are dark periods, when they are truly what propel us if we let it and trust and allow that process to unfold.

Do you compare your garden to others? Is that a reflection of how you may compare your life to others? God is not mirroring our lives to one another. We all have a unique walk, journey, and spiritual unfolding. No two are 100% the same. But, the way we go through it has the same levels of teachings, or almost graduating by overcoming. We learn, we apply, we tend, we grow. BUT how much growth can come if we are stuck looking at someone else's garden?

Life has ups and downs and so do gardens. When the hands that tend are tied, limited, and not giving...the garden is doing the same.

The past years have been move in, injury, injury, and here we are in year 3. The saying is: year 3 bears fruit.

There is so much we can learn from the garden and God. The cycles, the weeds, the growth. First, we must be in a connected state, self care and able to give to garden. Then, we must nurture for continuous growth. If we slack, it slacks, this is just like our relationship with God.

Our pool yard has been a dream and we are tag teaming on this effort to get this underway!

Here we go...but first, we eat.

I had to speed this up...this is a sweet boy who is super slow moving. Perfect for building confidence! The end is his real life speed...not slow motion! 🥰🩵
