mommys garden makeover

well i remade the garden...
my wonderful husband who also happens to be a most excellent daddy made a tiny faerie arch that very closely mirrored the big one gracing my garden
and Lowe's supplied all kinds on mint and lemon balm and oregano at 70 cents a pot

my trips to the tilly and my sense of whimsy added all kinds of faerie furnishings

and imagination did the rest





when she heard about the lettuce she cried
when she walked out to the garden
she bent quietly down and looked thru the arch
and
sitting in front of the faeries garden,
bent low and completely silent i wondered if i had done enough
then she says in aww
"oh mommy i wish i could shrink down and go inside,
 i could walk the path and maybe go visit  frogs house."

and i understood

i had done enough
i had healed the broken
this time anyway
and i thanked the One who heals the broken every time

what i never told you before
is that while in the middle of pulling the flattened lettuce out
i found a slug
only one
but had it not hailed...
well nature would have done a whole other makeover.
