Nasty Red Blister
At the point of friction of a pencil on my
middle finger lies a big red blister.

Not from writing, I am proud to say, I've been digging in the soil!

My husband says, most people have these nasty red
blisters all the time from working hard.
hahahaha.......for me it is a novelty!

I am joyous with my nose close to the ground, unearthing
weeds and raking with a little garden claw!

Over the winder we have been composting kitchen scraps.
Dumping them in a bin, stirring up the heap and letting it do it's thing.

I love the feeling of intentionally being part of the birth, death, birth, death cycle
of vegetables and fruits.

I am delighted that my nails are filled with soil and sand.
I am appreciating nature as I turn the composted soil into our sandy soil.
I am feeling nurturing and useful!

My nostrils are filled with the smell of cedar mulch and earth....ummmmm
I was just out there on the ground under the orange tree canopies,
raking and messing around.

Fresh squeezed oranges are still a decadent delight for me, a
born and raised in New York-er. The delicious still alive taste of fresh squeezed
juice is second to this feeling I get, when I get down and dirty flowing my energy.
