One of the exciting things about putting down roots somewhere and making it home is that all of a sudden you can really SEE the work you've been doing! We've seem to have made a transition this year between doing not just what we need to do on the house to having a little room for beautification. Placing perennial beds feels oh so good. Moving an overgrown rose bush to where you actually want it is satisfying. Seeing garlic and kale, peas and strawberries doing there this is gratifying. To watch our Fireside Apple tree going from a a transplant 2 years ago, to a real tree with little blossoms on it, I cannot explain the joy it brings. The first time Rafi and I put down roots together was with that bleeding heart, and we see it bloom with more and more lovely hearts every spring.
I hope you're finding your little patch of earth somewhere and getting some dirt under your fingernails. Whether it be garden, flower box or counter top aloe.
