Gardening; my internal compass resets from the pull of the earth beneath my feet.
3 en un mar de tranquilidad. Jardinería; mi brújula interior se reinicia por tener la tierra bajo mis pies.
Gardening gives me
the tranquility to live
the day’s etcetera.

Where do you find your “Serenity Now!” (Seinfeld reference) (¿Dónde encuentras tu “Serenidad ahorita!?)

The purple flowers smell like grapes too! Gardens are great for serenity. How do your roses grow?

Roses are doing great actually!!
But they are not getting much sunshine ☀️
There are other flowers, that are enjoying the little bit of rain. ☺️
Hey, I’ve an idea. You can ask your readers for the pics of flowers they see around them.
This way you can share pics from different continents maybe!

I would think a photo of the roses using portrait mode on his phone could be shared on his blog. Working out regularly? This bud’s for you! 😉 Or, a garden workout post 🙂

I will think about a garden blog.
You can maybe share your email id and share pics here if you like 😁
Roses are very few rn.
Other flowers are much common.
We have a lot, but roses 😃
After some weeks Arabian Jasmine will start blooming.
We have Allamandas of 3 different colours
And few others

Any of your flowers would be fun to see. I can contribute flower photos if you do a gardening workout post. Digging, weeding, pruning branches are a few tasks that keep me fit.

Dear Margaret, neither am I. Gardening today in our first bit of sun in a week helped. When I need a laugh, I’ve been known to yell, Serenity Now! like Mr. Costanza on Seinfeld. It helps, I must say.
