It occurred to me as I was walking through Bryant Park this morning that gardens are always transforming. From seedlings kept safe and warm inside until it’s time to plant, to spring bulbs flowering, to now when the gardens are in full bloom, gardens transform every day. It’s the same with my vegetable plants. I eagerly plant them in early spring and hope a late frost won’t hurt them. I watch as they grow and anticipate those first little flowers that say vegetables will soon be on the way. I trim the herbs for delicious pesto and chimichurri or to add to my other dishes (and by the way I am so cooking up some interesting recipes for you that you’ll find in June 2020’s Hallmark Release, SOUTH BEACH LOVE).
Something else also came to me this morning: Writers are like gardeners in that they create a garden with words. We start with the seed of an idea and plant the words on the page. Little by little, we sow more words or we trim until suddenly that sparse garden blooms into a book! LOL!
Just some thoughts about transformation on this Tuesday! Have an awesome day.
