Lazy Hazy Days

Once upon a time, I loved to garden. I worked in my garden every day, then relaxed in the gazebo and enjoyed a cool beverage.

My family spent hours outside on this deck and in the gazebo when we lived in Illinois.

We still have a deck, but I haven't done any gardening in a very long time.

I love this photo because it reminds me that one day, I will have my own garden again. Next time, I will grow more vegetables and have as much of my yard covered in edible plants as possible.

Less grass to mow.

Dreams of a sustainable life, including some chickens and a nearby dairy farm, linger in my mind, creating memories of a future life, some lazy, hazy days, and clear, star-filled nights.
