It's been a long 7 weeks since I've posted anything garden related...
I have to say that losing our beloved dog, Jesse, really set me back in so many ways, and I feel like I am slowly climbing out of that dark hole.
I will forever miss him. He was my constant companion, so every time I go into the garden, I feel the deepness of his absence. Gardening is going to be difficult for me now. They say time heals all wounds... even if that's true, I know the scar will remain for a lifetime. A beautiful reminder of the love I had for him. 💔
As a baby step, I have sown a few winter veggies. In all honesty, our boy Zack loves sugar snap peas so much-- he was my impetus to get into the garden again. He will have to eat his brother's share of peas now... He, too, misses Jesse, and I wonder if when he savors those first sweet tender peas, that he will be reminded of all the years he ate them with his brother by his side. 🐕 🐕
