Gardening

The sun blazed down on her back as she squatted next to the flowerbed heating the air around her until she felt cocooned in an insolated blanket. The only relief was the baseball cap protecting the top of her head and shading her eyes.

She dug into the soil with a three-pronged hand tool breaking the steadfast grip of long neglected weeds proliferating rampantly among the flowers.


Too many demands on her time, too many emergencies needing her attention had left her exhausted and unmotivated to tend the garden until she said enough, shut off her phone, and went outside.
