My friend Cat is at Southport Flower Show this weekend and I am jealous. This is daft for many reasons. Jealousy is a negative emotion that does not drive us towards love and joy. We all get to spend our time however we chose and I could hop on a train and be there in an hour. I am completely ignorant when it comes to flowers, plants, and greenery. Finally, and probably most importantly, I don’t have a garden.
I have a yen for a garden. I want space for the monkeys to run around, the dog to sniff, to sit on a summers evening with the beloved and drink tea. Damn it, I want a summer house!
Alas, it is not to be. I love the house and the yard will have to do. Also, I know myself well enough to know that I would not be maintaining a garden. I’m not mowing a lawn. So, for now, I will have to peruse Pinterest for ideas on how to bring colour and life to our tiny space. Excuse me, I may be some time.
