My big-ear pig no longer sits among dry stems and weeds.
Reawakening and renewal surrounds its terra-cotta figure with green, yellow, red, and brown.
My garden passion is returning.
My idle hours are spent making wish lists for additions. Mother Nature has her own ideas, and thoughts of removal are sometimes entertained.
Though, most thoughts of death and dying and passing ghosts are fading. The earth takes care and recycles.
New life and color are evidence that life goes on. Organic mass decomposes and its energy is passed along.
My mother’s spirit surrounds me in my garden. Lily of the Valley was one of her favorite flowers. I’m making plans to put some in.
Today the red and yellow Coreopsis and peachy Peruvian lily keep company with the big-ear terra-cotta pig.
