Wheelchair Gardener: Last night

Inspiration

We do not remember days...

We remember moments.

(Cesare Pavese)

********

"An hour in the garden puts life's problems into perspective."

Some say I am confined to wheelchairBut I don’t think they know

That though my body is affected I still am on the go.

I go to visit those I love

And walk to market place;

I tread the woods until it rains

And then the rainbow trace.

Of course my body cannot always go

For it’s been restricted for days,

But who would say paralysis confines

A soul and mind that dreams and prays?

Although my body sometimes lets me down

Through days of darkest night,

My spirit soars on wings of prayer

And moves with speed of light.

In dreams and prayer I visit those I love;

Great is the gift of prayer;

And when my thoughts are beamed toward you

You’ll sense my presence there.

Two blooms opened on the Night Blooming Cactus, but I missed them. I didn't feel up to going out that late to see if they opened. There's more, yet.

We have a tiny Night Blooming Cereus. I wonder how large it has to be to make blooms?

Jamie/Randy, It will take a couple of years for a NB Cereus to get large enough to bloom. Give it 20-20-20 1/4 recommended dosage 1x week. Stop about the 1st of May. Blooms usually come in early June.
