The garden

 

After looking at the leeks, I started walking to where I planted the onions and garlic. Stopping every now and then to inspect the ripening chili peppers and roses by the wall. Passing the area where my husband put the net for volleyball, I thought of creating a new patch for vegetables this spring. 

Then, at last, navigating to a somewhat slippery slope, I arrived where the onions are. Tucked under a very tall pear tree. They thrive. I only hope that they survive the slugs.

The garlic is doing great as well. But this is not only about the onions and garlic. This morning routine is about adding endorphins, serotonin, etc to my well-being. That simple walk around the garden adds joy to my life. But wait, I haven't told you about our chickens. Well, that's for another day.

I hope that this morning you have done something to add joy to your life. A routine that makes you look forward to a new and exciting day.
