pulling weeds
knees kiss the ground
beneath the cedars
scent of life on my fingers
planting seeds row on row
day after day
like a mother in wait,
shoots breaking ground

Makes me miss gardening! 🙂 I love that feeling you describe so eloquently that you get when your hands are in the dirt

Yes, it’s been a long time since I no longer have a house …I remember painting my nails dark colours during that time because I could never the stains off:)

I spent forever digging dirt out from under my nails after playing in the garden.

Yep, I hear you. Where I live the ground is hard and clay mixed not like the black earth in my hometown. But still did not want to wear gloves. That is like washing your new born with gloves!

I do wear gloves because some plants are sensitive to the chemicals in our skin and the products we put it but that doesn’t help. I end with dirt under my nails anyway.

Yes you’re right when transferring a plant to another pot I have started doing that as well.
