I just barefooted it out to the new garden in the cool, wet grass.

My herbs are looking perkier. I dug out the weedfilled box and planted them yesterday in the hot, hot, hot-is it really october?sunshine and they were looking kinda heat-exhausted.

Yay! Garden.

There are very few things I like better than spending an afternoon in the dirt, putting plants in to grow, nourishing the things that will nourish me.

Dr Usui, the founder of Reiki and one of my personal heroes, said that every person should have a garden and I think he was right. It brings you onto an intimate level with the earth, our source and you just can't beat that.

Now, I just have to get some parsley, and dig me a garlic bed.

Yeehaw!
