As our political leaders work to find the best pathway through the impacts of the virus I have been finding pathways this week too.
I think gardening is much harder than housework. After all, leave a house unattended for a while and you find nothing more than dust and a few spider webs to clean up. Leave a garden unattended and you have a jungle to contend with.
Plants are too undisciplined to stay within the borders marked out for them. They reach over or escape their boundaries. So this week I have been hacking away rediscovering pathways in Burnbrae garden.
Today during Church at Home I joined others in praying that God would "give all leaders wisdom and insight in dealing with the challenges we are facing, particularly in relation to the pandemic and the resulting economic and social pressures it is creating."
Yes, let's hope that prayer is answered in some way.
ReplyDeleteOur Lord is over all.
DeleteThe garden very quickly gets out of control, especially when physical pain takes over. Yes, I do hope prayer is an answer to our problems.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to get control of the garden and get Burnbrae sold when the market picks up ... before pain catches up with me.
DeleteI absolutely agree Joan Elizabeth, if I don't keep on top of my garden it really does become a jungle, but I do love being out there. I have a large leaf ivy on the garden walls which I'm sure if left unattended would eventually take over the whole garden and the house 😉 Happy new week ✨
ReplyDeleteThat ivy would be a challenge. When I get outin the garden at Burnbrae I realise how lovely it is but I don’t think I will ever enjoy gardening itself.
DeleteHello Joan, your garden pathways are lovely. Yes, the garden loves nothing more than spreading out. Its nice taking photos and seeing the results of you work. Always good for the soul, isn't it, being out in our gardens. Enjoy the new week
ReplyDeleteBeing in nature is always good for the soul.
DeleteBeautiful paths, worth all the work!
ReplyDeleteOur little balcony got nothing than a few sour strawberries, not even the poppies made it...
I have posted some poppies for you this week.
DeleteA delight to follow your pathways. Gardening is hard work, but more rewarding than housework, in my book.
ReplyDeleteI guess in my case it is rewarding because the mess is so much greater.
DeleteYes I remember those days of cutting back the garden jungle. Luckily I don't have to do it any more. I had gardeners trimming our tree and hedge today.
ReplyDeleteOur retirement home has mostly lawn (though an awful lot of it) so I know we can hire someone to cut it in the future when it gets all too much for me. See this weeks post for the difference.
DeleteYour garden is cheerful
ReplyDeleteIt makes me cheerful too.
