I'm really sad tonight. I'm going outside to plant things.

It's been rough lately. I hope I feel better later when I come in.

See you in a while.

Here's something happy to look at:

Foxgloves in late April (green rosettes under the dogwood tree)

1. Very nice.

Watching mini roses on my porch, maybe ballgame. ENOUGH of the other stuff.

2. Beautiful pictures---they helped cheer me up.

I hope your excursion into the garden helps you feel better.

3. lovely! nice to see the dogwood - ours came and went so fast this spring....

right now we have our daylilies, salvia black and blue, some knock out and miniature roses, cosmos, marigolds and lantana in bloom - crape myrtles just beginning. Pretty time of year.

did the planting make you feel better? the WI election stuff last night had me depressed all day today....soon to bed.

4. Planting, weeding or just turning the soil always makes

me feel better.

I hope it works for you too.

Cheers.

5. Hope the garden time worked.

I find a lot of comfort and distraction in getting dirt under my nails. That therapy has become just as important to me as all the pretty flowers and lovely veggies.

Hoping for better days ahead for you.

6. it's called biophilia

Human interaction with plants has positive effects on mood, health, etc.

I know that in gardening season, when I'm outdoors everyday, I'm practically giddy all the time. I know it's 'cuz I love seeing my plants, trees, and flowers growing. I talk to them, kiss flowers, fondle their leaves. I even dance with my rake in the garden and who cares what the neighbors think. I don't think they can see me--too woodsy here with vines everywhere.

So I'll bet you're feeling better and you couldn't have done a nicer thing for yourself.

Stunning photo of foxgloves! What a paradise!
