Grokking the Fullness

I’m trying to “grok the fullness” of everything around me that I’ll never see again, each beautiful flower or tree I planted, the friendly neighbors we’re just getting to know, the way the property is starting to take shape, the tangible results of all our labor.  My work is still cut out for me, though, until we leave.

While I’m concentrating on landscape maintenance, E is busily working on several house improvements at once, to bring the place up to speed.  At least we’re more motivated to get it all done, now that we plan to move.  It keeps us focused and prioritized.  No more buying plants or making plans for this property, just cleaning up what’s here.  Probably for the best, but it’s still sad.

Here are some highlights of what’s blooming now, some of my favorites.
