My backyard is filled with flowers, many are perennials designed to come up again so I don’t have to replant them every year.

So many colors and plant sizes and shapes, mixed together with my potteries and souvenirs from hiking expeditions; they all blend into a beautiful patchwork quilt of color and texture that give me such delight to look at, to touch and to share with others.

Anticipating an upcoming move, I am thinking how I will miss all this loveliness, remembering all the places I’ve been, all the people who have shared plants with me, wondering how much space I might have at my new home, and then what to grab and take along!

Generally, I have discovered when people move out, the new residents have different gardening tastes than I do, and often the garden areas are mowed over or converted into another type space.

That thought is tough, but ….. WAIT!!!

I will have a new palate to paint from, new plants to choose, new dirt to turn over and begin to make beauty all over again.

I won’t be giving anything up. That painting is finished, it added to my portfolio of gardening experience, and now is time to begin another painting.

I will remake my beauty again…another place!

Do you need to remake your own beauty somewhere today?

Where? How? Just begin!
