A loud t-storm woke me up so here I am, writing about yesterday’s mundane gardening, while hundreds of miles away, hundreds of people showed up at a huge funeral and reception for my cousin.  It’s like a different world; hard to imagine.  Of course, she lived her life (wore it out) doing good deeds and caring for people, without fanfare or taking credit, impacting countless lives.  She earned that show of respect.  She left behind many close family members and friends devastated by her loss.

Not that there’s any comparison, but I don’t even know, let alone impact, hundreds of people, and if I died, it would just be another day!  A minor ripple.  Not that I’d be around to care.  Anyway, about that mundane gardening…

I planted more flowers in various places: in each of the small square beds, in Y’s rock garden, and completed the row of sunflowers behind the veg garden.  I added a couple of blue water bowls to the shade natives area.  I still have a lot of veg seedlings to bring out and plant when they’re ready, and veg seeds to direct-sow, but then most of the work will shift to outdoor maintenance and enjoying the results.  More to the point, others will hopefully get to enjoy it.
