Garden Therapy

I told my husband the other day I was nesting. I quickly reassured him that I was not pregnant! Seriously though I do feel like I am nesting. Over the last couple of weeks I've froze a bushel of corn, about 10 cups of zucchini, 20 pounds of Michigan blueberries and 10 pounds of "ripe" bananas.

While I have worked in the kitchen preparing this food for my family, I have felt a deep satisification by providing healthy food for them. I realize that my garden is spiritual experience at many levels. From preparing the earth, planting the seeds and now harvesting the produce.
The provisions of Mother Earth nurture my body, soul and spirit.
