I'm beginning to reap the benefits, once again, of my garden. Although some vegetables aren't coming up quite yet and some that have fallen victim to this heat, I do have plenty to choose from. Aside from the one carrot that made it, I have plenty of green lettuces to go around the block and a few tomatoes that are just beginning to ripen. It has been a luxury to have this garden, which to me is an escape of everyday life and hassles. And who doesn't need that kind of distraction? Sometimes, if it weren't so damn hot, I wonder what it would be like to bask in the sun and just lie there. Like my zucchini and squash, for example. We get so caught up in business during the fall, that before you know it, the summer has become just as busy, slipping by and it's fall all over again. If we just lie and soak up what the day has to offer, put aside our issues, our faults, our insecurities, we can be just lie that, zucchini and squash, and grow in the heat of the sun.
