Had a rough day, emotionally today. This quarantine has been like that for my whole family--we seem to have OK days and then days where we can hardly get out of bed. Today was like that, then I decided to get some gardening done and that helped immensely. Being outdoors is really a tonic for what ails you--feeling the fresh air and sunshine, the breeze in your face. For me, pulling weeks and hauling rocks is its own tonic. My garden looks better and it reminds me of being a child. My mother had a huge garden at our house in Nampa, Idaho. She planted all sorts of fruits and vegetables and we had fruit trees as well. We did a lot of weeding when we were kids--it was usually a chore. Now, however, I find weeding therapeutic. Go figure!
