Alternative Ending

Well, my tomatoes have come to an end. These are the last few that were on the vine, so I picked them off before cutting back all the plants to the core. They had a good run. Six months for tomato vines is pretty good. At first I felt a little sad that they were done but then I felt this wave of excitement that now I can start something new - anything I choose, including new tomatoes if I wish. Endings can be sad but sometimes an ending is just really an exciting beginning to something else. So that was my garden lesson for the day. I suppose it goes along with, "When God closes a door, he opens a window." So here I am at the window, looking out and feeling glad instead of sad.

Will keep you posted on my new developments.

Goodbye to this Spring's garden
Hello to Summer one
Such fun we had unburdened
Now to work in the sun!
