What your soul craves

Lately, I've been thinking about gardening a lot. I haven't gardened much in my lifetime. I spent most of my growing-up years on a farm but I was away at school during the day for most of the year. When I was at home for the holidays, yes, I would spend time in the garden, but I would be sitting under a tree or one of the garden seats reading a book.

Then I spent my high school and college years surrounded by gardens and lawns. But I was holed up inside buildings and rarely even got the chance to look out of the window.
