Isn't it great to be able to change things around anytime you want. I had a friend that dropped by the other day and she was so surprised at how different everything looked. I lost a huge pine tree so that made a big change, I cut to the ground 2 huge red tip photenias, (that are coming back from the base if the grasshoppers would quit eating the leaves off, they had overgrown their place) and now we are putting up a new double metal gate with a new cedar fence. That is going to make for more big changes. We are going to change where the fence was before. I will need to move 4 small leyland cypress trees but I will love being able to have a bigger space to garden in my backyard.

PS: Funny how my husband and I were talking today that I have always wanted to be cremated and scattered around our farm. I think my garden would be better, but I doubt that my husband will keep this house or garden if I am not here. Too much to keep up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene Bush" <genebush@netsurfusa.net>

Well, Bonnie
It is like poisons build up in your system when you are not active
in the garden. At least for me... you have to be out there working them out. 
Along with the demons.
Don't think I would have made it through my two bouts with cancer in
the past 2 years without my garden. There are so many things you can take to 
the garden that you cannot take to your relationships with humans. Some
things can be buried right along with compost in the garden, and left there. 
My garden likes me just the way I am each and every day.
Lots of weeds pulled today. Thinking about new area in my rock garden,
working out the design.

Gene, I think it is good to stay active. I had a terrible time with
lymphedema; went to a therapist; got a glove & sleeve and exercises.
But, the thing that helped the most was doing rotator cuff and yoga
exercises in addition to the lymphedema ones; haven't had to wear the
sleeve & glove for almost a month. Our bodies were made to move and, if
you are like me, gardening also does much to relieve the stress which
also is not good for cancer or most other disease. This morning I spend
around 30 minutes cleaning up the gardens along my front brick walk.
When done, I try to post a picture and we can fun comparing. I love to
see differences in the way people produce the same thing and always see
it in our quilting guild.

Well, Kitty
Since you are female your statement could be very true... I am a better man 
than you. But, not necessarily a "better" anything. Actually I do feel
better if I get out in the mornings and be active in my gardens. Come back
in for the rest of the day. I have too many projects that are "almost
finished". Need to stay active.
