Changes ~ In My Summer Garden

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from an Old Manse

It seems a while since I have been here. I am getting back into school routine and enjoying a visit from my Dad.

I have had a lot on my mind lately so I thought I'd show you some of what is happening in my garden at the moment. A place where lots of contemplation also happens.

This beautiful little blossom is fruiting and turning into...

an eggplant!

This is my first and I hope for many more.

It is an heirloom variety, distributed by The Digger's Club, called 'Listada di Gandia Eggplant'.

Some floral parsley prettiness.

Water droplets are always beautiful, are they not?

Thyme and ...

Tomato

I absolutely love watching my herbs and veges change and grow.

We are looking at changes this year. It seems 2010 is to be a watershed year, a year of much change and I am prompted to move with a certain flow of changes for our family this year.

I am contemplating:

~ the possibility of a new journey, walking a path that has only recently opened up to me.

~ revisiting paths recently travelled, with a new journey ahead.

And that about sums it up in a very non-descript sort of a way.

So how about you? What changes are afoot for you in 2010?
