Today I went to my veggie patch and it was not as euphoric an experience as I would have thought. There were lots of gardeners tending and lifting veggies and watering to protect them from this dry spell. I have come to realize that I do not like to mix chatter with gardening. To me it is a meditational experience that is disturbed by the need to socialize. I will soon be labelled as a misanthrope but I'm afraid veggie animism may be my thing.
On the other hand I thoroughly enjoyed lunch at a local tea shoppe with my neighbour Doreen and Claire (my daughter). That is, was and should be a thoroughly social event which gave me total joy and I hope it was reciprocal. No need to meditate over the soup and sandwich - I was having so much fun that I didn't notice how long the food took to bring to the table.
Reading all afternoon after lunch was a delicious luxury and I will admit to nodding off for a few minutes. Delightful!
