You understand better than most. So when I 'hide" in my garden and concentrate on garden things .. I don't think of anything else but that .. it truly is a refuge !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-75329164767342565482008-05-20T16:51:00.000-04:002008-05-20T16:51:00.000-04:00What a lovely post!

It really makes you stop and take a breath of fresh air thinking just what a privilege that is, never mind the rest.Viooltjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493874661606266986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-35733701483701326562008-05-18T18:48:00.000-04:002008-05-18T18:48:00.000-04:00"ben' .. it has been cold and rainy but so far no ..."ben' .. it has been cold and rainy but so far no more hail from yesterday .. phew !<BR/>Emma is driving Sophie bonkers ..

I don't envy you that heat wave .. we will be having ours shortly I am sure .. heat and humidity (not a great thing for the garden) .. you are right about being creative with working around the weather though .. and yes ..

I may have hit a blue patch yesterday thinking about it all ?<BR/><BR/>Anna .. we were lucky this time .. hail not big enough and didn't last long enough to rip anything .. we did get a great watering and the rain barrel is FULL ! .. so that is a positive thing to be grateful for : )<BR/><BR/>Nancy .. I will do my best to keep the nasty weather from you guys ? LOL<BR/><BR/>Crafty .. there were some huge CRACKS of thunder eh ? .. I was at the deck door looking out .. with Sophie and Emma of course. They always want to SEE what is going on.

It can take a long time to get through a cycle and sometimes a lifetime. Good times and birthdays still happen along with beautiful gardens and exploding blooms. <BR/><BR/>We have horrible storms here in NC and I too have had my gardens shredded by hail. I've even run out there in them and rescued my babies. I lived in the state of Colorado once when my husband was in the AF--they have the worst storms---and I saw hail the size of softballs. Now girl--that hurts! I had to cover my gardens with chicken wire there or the deer lived high on the hog too. <BR/><BR/>Here's a big gardening hug!!! It's so hard to watch it when those storms come through and undo a whole season worth of hard work. We all know and share your same thankfullness and appreciation when the stoms pass us by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-11688343816426180542008-05-17T21:24:00.000-04:002008-05-17T21:24:00.000-04:00We had that thunder/rain storm this afternoon also...We had that thunder/rain storm this afternoon also. I was working outside and all of a sudden had to close garage door, put away as much as I could and rush inside to turn off the computers. Yes, it most certainly could of been worse. It is always good to count our blessings and not dwell on the bad side of things. The good thing is I got some plants moved before the rain so they got a good soaking from Mother Nature.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114199768103222510noreply@blogger.com
