Summer Love

I am constantly in awe of Mother Nature. In awe of how quickly seeds sprout up out of the ground. In awe of how the strong seeds thrive, weak seeds wither. Love watching the veggies grow and the incredible colors that turn out. Amazed at how quickly the bad guys- squash bore, squash bugs, slugs, etc. – find my lush, thriving plants and make camp, intending to thoroughly annihilate my plants. I don’t let it happen. I fight veggie bugs year after year. I lovingly cultivated these plants, I’ll be damned if I’m going to let some pesky bugs kill them.

I think of my body. One day I was perfectly healthy and thriving, the next, I’m very much not healthy and thriving. I don’t know where I draw my energy from to fight, but I do. And always will. For what I believe in – my right to grow old on MY terms- I fight. Heaven help the bad guys that cross my path or the path of my family, friends or veggies!
