Hi lovely people,
Well I haven't been on here at all the last few days as I have been sitting with the content of my last blog post and trying to figure out where I am going with it and what to do with it. I am not planning on wallowing in it. It comes and stays with me for a few days and then it goes and evenetually it comes back again to remind me that I still have a ways to go on my path.
I haven't really had anything to write about these last few days, plus in those days I celebrated my 47th birthday. Some people are shocked when I am open about my age. Too damn right I'm open about it. I am proud of the age I am. There were moments when I wasn't sure that I would make it so to be at this point is great. I don't understand why people have such an issue with admitting their age, it's part of them, part of the person that they have become. It's a real thing. Are people trying to make out they are younger than they are? Gawd I dn't have the energy to waste on that kinda nonsense honestly! lol.
Nope I am 47 and proud, and I am looking forward to my next big milestone of 50! I have never felt like a young soul in this world, I have always felt like I have been here many times before and will be here for many times to come to constantly learn new and some old lessons. I want to age disgracefully and in a way that reflects the person that I truly am, not what everyone is expecting of me. My mum says I should think about cutting my long hair short because older women don't look right with long hair! She will be waiting a long time to see me cut my hair. I have only ever had short hair once in my life as a child and I bloody hated it!
On my birthday the first of this years dog roses came out on my rambling roses in the back garden, today there are about 11 flowers showing, and next to that my small hawthorn beneath my bigger one, the bluebells are beginning to go over now and my columbines are flowering too, all different colours...stunning. The valerian is flowering also and my ladys mantle and lemon balm are getting really big. The solitary deep purple tlip is holding its own out there today in the strong winds we have right now. The elders are all flowering and Im trying to decide whether to take some, or all for making yummy stuff or wait until they berry? I want something that isn't packed full of loads of sugar.
What else is in the garden right now? Irises, marigolds, lavenders...all flowering. My herbs are growing like crazy as are my wild geraniums. My veg plot needs a serious amount of work on as since the last lot of rain it has just gone nuts too and I will have to start putting my veg plants in soon. So far I have a whole bunch of tomatoes, including heritage ones, french beans, spaghetti and acorn squashes, green and yellow courgettes, celeriac, to name a few. Any one want to help me wrestle with my veg plot?? Lol It was worth a try!
I am kinda waffling today, not much to talk about really. Hopefully I will feel much more inspired tomorrow...who knows eh?
