So I do realize I haven't
posted a blog in awhile. Writer's block perhaps? I do have ideas for some
healthy, fresh foods for this time of year but I wanted to do at least one more
gardening blog. We are in the throes of the gardener's delight time of year
after all!! So do I seriously have a writer's block? Then it dawned on me that
perhaps I have a gardener's block!?! What is that you say. Well, I have been
simplifying my annual plantings, expanding my long-lived perennial base over
these past few years. Is it possible things are running so smoothly out there; there's
plenty of rain & cooler than usual temperatures so far (for the east coast
at least) that there's not much to write about? No Way!!!

Yes,
my gardening strategy has paid off but I know I have plenty of work to do... if
I choose... See that's the thing, right now all looks fabulous! I can just sit
& enjoy (we all aim for that result after all - with a cocktail in hand -
see recipe link below) So maybe what I am experiencing is gardener's'bliss', not gardener's
'block'. I mean I really haven't had to begin dead heading just yet. As
usual, I freshened up a stake or two with spray paint. I weeded (past tense)
but the mulch is doing its thing for now! Really this is bliss; the kind you
dream about when you are thumbing through those garden books in January. I will
truly enjoy today with the low humidity & dappled sunshine. I will enjoy
today because tomorrow I work actually. I will enjoy today because the present
is a gift truly after all. So no tips or advice this time around, gardener's!! Simply
Enjoy.
