Life Goes On

Petunias, Marigolds and Tomato plants

Everyone is doing something.  We are all busy doing chores, planning for tomorrow and making things happen today.  Today when I re-started the weeding I took time out to check Merv's patio plants.  The petunias are raising their heads to the sun and displaying their amazing array of colours.  Pink, yellow, purple, deep velvet, white and red.  Marigolds on the other hand are always orange.  There is no surprise here.  They shine together in a garden bed or a hanging basket and give joy to the heart. Every morning and every evening Merv is seen, hose in hand watering his precious plants.  Some of them get a little more water than others, some of them appear to be drowning in the puddle from a little inattention.  I am assured by their growth there is no harm done as they wiggle and fidget, fighting to be seen by the sun, their foliage spreading out before them.
Life goes on as it always does and always will.  We continue to be busy, the plants continue to grow and thrive.  I am amused just for a minute.  The moment is not about reflection or stopping to reminisce it's about going forward.  I smile as I see Merv busy watering his plants.
