I find the amount of time gardening takes up overwhelming at this time of year (and not just gardening, but maintenance like weeding and sweeping the paths around the house, the drive, cutting the grass, trimming the hedges...) but if I saw it in terms of half hour chunks then maybe it would all look a lot more manageable. As with everything it's all in the mental attitude. :-)Gillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5820448587005531644.post-45399826986037793352016-05-26T13:15:32.735-07:002016-05-26T13:15:32.735-07:00I think there are a lot of us that feel the same S...I think there are a lot of us that feel the same Sarah! :) xxxVintage Sheet Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027266547200808397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5820448587005531644.post-73285897098549554452016-05-26T13:02:52.199-07:002016-05-26T13:02:52.199-07:00Gardening is my sanctuary too and such an importan...Gardening is my sanctuary too and such an important part of my life.

Mobility is a big one because it takes away so many choices, but I feel very lucky because I can still walk, might not be long distances but if I'm sensible and plan what I'm doing I can manage well enough. I would love to do a long, brisk walk, I used to be like a bullet! I'm very pragmatic though and understand life itself brings loses, you really do just need to get on with life, we only have one and I don't want to waste it wallowing! ;) xxxVintage Sheet Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027266547200808397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5820448587005531644.post-3067503570119149072016-05-26T00:51:36.642-07:002016-05-26T00:51:36.642-07:00Morning Amanda, have you ever seen a grief cycle? ...Morning Amanda, have you ever seen a grief cycle? (For you it would be your mobility) I feel you are coming through one of those losses. The garden looks lovely and yes needs tending but you can also take a half hour sitting in it and enjoying it which will renew you hugely.

It's definitely money well spent, I'm always reading about the health-giving benefits of gardening. It is almost mystical how it improves not just physical but mental wellbeing, no-one really understands exactly how it all works, but there are far more benefits than the obvious ones I think. A great idea to have plenty of places to sit and enjoy it. And no doubt you will find yourself getting up to tweak things here and there. I've read that book cover to cover and really took a lot from it as well. I find if I keep doing little jobs, just a bit here and there, it really mounts up. I love the new name you propose, it's a great idea. I'm wishing you a very happy summer of gardening.
