Sitting in my gardening scruffs

Ready to dig, move, plant and play

Waiting for the rain to go off

Finding time for WordPress

I know, its been a while

Yet being in nature calls me

Tending to my piece of Earth

Finding my Middle ground

With dirty hands and knees

    All this rain is making it hard to get outside in the garden. Hope you’ve had a break to go out and play!

    such a peaceful garden
    of non-waiting, Val!
    why does it seem appealing
    to me to get out in the mud? 🙂

    Yup. I’m only on WordPress as much as I am these past few days because I’ve been away from home for almost 3 weeks. I totally understand the need to get hands in dirt! Enjoy. 💕

      Thanks Bela. Travel and planning, thinking and analysis take me away. A few days Earth born always helps come into balance.

    So understand this Val.. Nature Calls and Spring is our busy time of year to plant anew..
    So pleased the rain held off..
    Here the weather has changed, much cooler with hail storms that appear out of the blue.. But we are doing well.. and the garden is on track. ❤

    We’ve been 2 weeks without a drop so I watered this morning in spite of the cold air. We get hot this week then back to cool when I can get more weeds pulled. I’m having the same problem. Finding enough time to do everything. But the garden is always the strongest pull.

    I recognize the same tug-of-war in myself, Val. This time of year we need to play in the dirt! 🙂

    Sounds like me Val. I’ve been spending so much time outside planting that I don’t seem to have time for anything else.

● About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
