Taking a time out

Well, clearly I need to learn how to take time outs more often.  When you stop and enjoy life these are the things you get to experience:

• Just how enormous one (yes only one!) squash plant can get with a little sun and rain (err...I hope people like squash I'll have lots)
• A good song on the radio with the windows down
• The smell of lightening and the boom of thunder while you sit out on your porch with friends
• The "after storm" reduction in air pressure - and the gentle breezes that follow
• Bonzai planting of herbs (not planting a bonzai tree but randomly sowing seeds)
• Sitting out under the full moon and howling with Lugh 
• All my prairie flowers up, pointing at the sky, and ready to bloom
• The big dragonfly that just buzzed by
• The twinkle of lightening bugs as they play out in the garden - they make me smile
