The July Garden








Just at a time when July flowers are peaking, 2 of my flowerbeds are flat green. I gaze longingly at other people's blooming gardens that shout July! I forget that mine shouted May! and are now resting from their exertions. When the July! beds are resting in September, mine will be singing again.

I want flowers now. Want. Now. But now is an oven--too hot to launch any refurbishing of the green-on-green gardens.

Want. Wanting things to be different than they are. This is the stress of gardening.

Could i let go and be content with what is?

Green is a beautiful color (especially if you live in the desert), and i have many shades of it.
