Today was one of those days where my daily garden time didn't happen. There are a few things that can interfere. Today it was my son in pain. Everything got put on hold to help get him stable and calm. And while the Fitbit says that none of that was exercise, the body does not agree. Probably because the number one thing in helping my son is to keep myself and my heart rate calm while doing so. Because it helps him keep a level of calm.
And since that took so long, it's not likely that I'll be able to take a break from work that is long enough for me to go and spend some time in the garden. Breaks today will be focused on making sure that my son's pain is under control and making sure that it stays that way. He is currently burrowed under blankets in my bed, because for him, there is no better place to be when he is not feeling good.
So I'll leave you with a picture of another area that I finished earlier in the year. This is the window outside my office. Those two big bushes were much, much larger initially. And they will get another pruning in the correct season. The three itty bitty plants in the front are coneflower. The itty bitty plant in the center back is a Primrose lilac. They are currently protected from the deep levels of mulch by rings made from the center of vinegar jugs. All of them have been happy with their new homes and are improving rapidly. While the lilac is supposed to get much taller, I think it will be next year before it starts to get into it's true size.
I'm going to go have a really late breakfast. And I'm considering a cup of caffeinated tea to just help the body get over that last bit of tired.
