Thunderstorms are one of my favorite parts of spring, the other favorite part is my flowers.  Things are finally starting to fill in, I love the burst of color when I open the front door in the morning.  Most people know that I love to spend time in my gardens weeding and grooming my yard. Most of the time, I find it VERY relaxing, it gives me time to reflect on things in my life.  Over the years I have worked out many issues in my life in the garden.  Sometimes my flowers were the only ones that knew my REAL feelings.

Oddly enough there were times when I went out to work in my gardens, and the things that were bugging me the most always seemed to come to mind.    Some years, my gardens were splendid and  everything seemed to flourish and other years it looked so-so.   I started to pay more attention to this and realized there were times I was all but choking my poor flower babies because I was angry and upset about something,  no wonder there were plants that never made it, may they all rest in peace among the flowers in heaven.  This year was a BIG year of weeding in my life,  I tended to the things and people (person)  that were hurtful to me in my life and you know what, my flowers have never looked better.
