I stand at the back door
whenever I can and
gaze at the garden,
at six in the morning
a minute or two to spare
as I drink my tea,
in the afternoon instead of
doing something else,
in the dusk as
the garden takes a breath,
or last thing at night
I stand at the back door
whenever I can and
gaze
It's the perfect antidote to feeling as though there is too much to do and too little time. I have lots of mirrors in my small garden, and this is the view of the looking glass garden through one of them.
I too am an inveterate garden gazer - usually with a mug of coffee in hand. I tell my husband (daily!) that my dream is to do it from a cottage in the Welsh borders, with rolling hills to gaze out over, but until he gets his finger out, I make the most of our suburban plot and my imagination.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of gazing at two gardens - the one before you, and the one in your imagination. Both good for the soul.
