So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.~
The imapct of lock down on all of us is beyond measure. The sudden change in life style was difficult for many of us. I was fortunate enough as the idea of gardening came to my rescue. I am definitely not a homebody or hermite but I am managing it 🙂
I have a couple of flowering plants. The garden is blooming in various phases first tulips, then azaleas and rhododendrons with early perennials. Now roses are back but beautiful bright flowering zinnia are show stoppers.

Flowers are like children and grandchildren. They amaze me and bring my heart joy. You have beautiful flowers in your garden.

Even for a homebody like me, the lock down is hard. Beauty and being outside is a consolation, though. And so, oddly enough, is technology. Being able to Zoom with my children helps a lot.
