I am still struggling to get my thoughts in order, and this thing in my head is not helping. I want to feel relieved that help might be on the way, but for some reason, my mind won’t rest. I must admit to allowing this, as I am too tired to argue with anything.
Even walking around the garden hasn’t been helping, which was disappointing, until this morning, when this miracle presented itself. I have talked about this plant before, previously bought as an experiment. Rather too tall for a bonsai, but it was a wisteria, and I have a passion for these flowers. This one was labelled ‘white’ which I must admit was the clincher.
For six long years, I have watched the leaves appear, patiently waiting for the miracle of flowers. I was beginning to think it would never happen, and added this expectation to the ever-growing pile.
When a flower bud presented itself, I quickly moved this plant out of the wood pigeons’ way, as they love flower buds, and settled back to await the arrival of flower buds. I had the suspicion that these flowers would be lavender after all, as there was a tiny trace of colour on the developing spire.
All of these disappointments faded away when I saw it this morning, fully bloomed in all its glory. Some of my own misgivings went with them, for as long as nature can surprise me like this, life can’t be all that bad, can it?
I hope your Sunday brought you joy too…
love from Jaye 💖💖🪴
