In tune with nature............

 My mother has suffered with depression for as long as I can remember.    As a child I never quite understood what was happening............the change in personality, the darkness that descended on the home.

 Often I would ask her if I could take my brother out to Greenwich Park, just to get away from the heavy atmosphere.
My brother and I would spend several hours there, playing, running, and exploring.   My spirit would lift and I was ready to go back home to Mum...........

 Since Father died I have come to understand my Mother and the depression she lives with.    I like to think I have helped her through her most troubles times..........

 I still find it can leave me mentally exhausted on occasions.     That is when I turn to the garden............it is my sanctuary.
Alone with the birds bees and trees I am at one with nature.

 I walk the garden every day, I believe I must know every blade of grass, tree root and plant by now :)

 Of course, I do not.............gardens are mysterious places.   As I strolled this morning, I wondered what was happening beneath the soil.....the creatures, fungi and bacteria.     A world, deep beneath the plants and trees.

 Looking at the tree house, I think of the Grandchildren, bright lights in my world.     A season of summer fun ahead.

Life is ever changing............but it is good.   Problems arise but in a years time they are but a distant memory.

Happy gardening........
