Spent the day in the garden. We can learn a lot form this type of experience. Gardens are a lot like life there is always change, They never stand still, plants live and die and new life comes from tiny seeds. Care and attention brings colour and harmony. But it all require time effort and energy just like every other aspect of our life.
