Wheelchair Gardener: Today's ride

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.

I just had to get out and ride the neighborhood today (in my wheelchair).

I found the Garden Club's YOM down on 109 Ridgewood Dr. It's beautiful. They are having to water to keep it looking good.

I'm so fortunate that Ed put in a well and has plumbed the entire yard to auto water.
My mums aren't open yet-- but, soon.

These are some random pictures of flowers blooming along the way.

Hi there Marilyn. Looks like it was a lovely ride. Did you get any of those sprinkles. I didn' get a drop. I've been watering my stuff but not really often enough. Just been trying to keep it alive. I keep saying to myself - Self you got to get out and visit Marilyn. I will get by there soon. Going out of town this weekend. Have a blessed day sweetie.

It's so nice to get out. I too like to ride & look. Slow go & able to stop & really look if you wish.
Love that last pic.
