I'm a pickin' and I'm a grinnin' in Nerdin Gardens!
Spending time in our home garden brings to the forefront a sense of peace and accomplishment when stepping through the gate. The buzz of honey bees, roosters crowing, birds chirping and the pigs snoring...yes, even that sound reveals an overall contentment.
From late Spring to early Fall, we have watched the garden grow from small plants and seedlings to beautiful, lush offerings of fruits and vegetables. Our day-to-day harvest is proof that what you give, pays back in multitudes.
With loving care and a bit of work, we have created a Farmer's Market in our own back yard. A snap here, a cut there, means fresh food on our table, no preservatives or additives! Not much compares to that. An overabundance means friends and family also reap the benefits.
I find myself grinning while picking due to delightful, unexpected visitors or when discovering hidden treasures! A curly-cue cucumber or a Monarch Butterfly stopping by before journeying on, proves once again, that all is right, here in this time and place.
Love birds cooing to partners while tidying up their nests, a lizard traveling at warp speed across raised beds, ladybugs landing all about, a big green grasshopper warily watching from it's perch, a future undetermined.
Full-time and part-time residents add to the charming environment and inner-workings of Nerdin Gardens. Glad to have an open invitation to be this close to nature, to be inspired by her gifts and miracles daily. Wonder what tomorrow has in store for us? Stay tuned...
