Sophia's Garden 2
When I opened my eyes to the dark silvery light I saw a fullness that I hadn't seen in the backyard the day before. Had it been more than a day since I looked at my own backyard? ( We have also admitted to each other that our memory capacity seems eschew these days).
I was about to put my garden shoes on when I felt an inner nudge to get out into the garden before dawns light. The ground felt damp and cold but I didn't let my stumbling steps stop me from going to the garden. When had this lush growth happened? The grass was knee high, thigh high in some places. There was a walkway that was overgrown with arching grasses. Next to the walkway I spotted a pool surrounded by grasses as tall as me. I wanted to run back to my studio for my camera to capture this amazing surprise. But I could not stop searching for more surprises and my work was rewarded. Under the arching grasses I saw white with red tipped irises. Next to the tree I saw a large leafed velvet blue plant I thought had died. There were star shaped pink penny blossoms at arms height. There were short stem roses barely higher than my toes.
What a treasure of a surprise in my own garden!

I like your site too. You have a lot of great insights, and I love the bike rosary. I pray the rosary when I'm out walking.
