Today I enjoy the warmth and calm beauty of my mother's garden with wisteria making its brief and fragrant flowering over the porch and an array of colours and scents providing a welcome respite from London. Birds hop close to me and feed from the generous amounts of seeds mum has spread for them and, later on the forest, I even see a rabbit that stays a few feet from me, relaxed in the balmy weather; robins and squirrels - even a fluffy gray cat - come close to me too.
Yesterday, my mother pointed out her Solomon's seal plants and showed me the back garden where the frogs are back in the pond. It is yet to turn into the dance of pinks and whites and colours that summer will hasten but is a calming range of greens. We must re-plant one fern that is taking over, however!
Last night I talked to a friend who is helping me with my book and am highly optimistic after being given several leads to pursue. There is still much to do but I am clear on the way ahead - clarity being such a boon.
