Springtime Gardening Work

Karen and I worked outdoors for 5 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday.  We finished preparations of our Sunny Garden and planted many seedlings.  We mowed all the grass and weeds in our main outdoor yards.  We pulled the small DC pump from our field well because it was not working.  We cleaned up the Sacred Circle garden.  Busy, busy ...  It was fun! 




"All good work is done the way ants do things: Little by little."
-  Lafcadio Hearn

"This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now.  And instead of calling it work, realize it is play."
-   Alan Watts, Work as Play  

"Every kind of work can be a pleasure. Even simple household tasks can be an opportunity to exercise and expand our caring, our effectiveness, our responsiveness. As we respond with caring and vision to all work, we develop our capacity to respond fully to all of life. Every action generates positive energy which can be shared with others. These qualities of caring and responsiveness are the greatest gift we can offer."
-  Tarthang Tulku


Our Iris garden is in grand form at this time of year.
