Ultimately we control the writing, every bit of it, but with gardening, we are at the mercy of mother nature, and we are ok with it. And that's why we are happy in the garden. I think anyway. It's a sense of freedom, where with writing, I sometimes feel trapped by the inadequecy of my words, or rather my perceived inadequecy because I think all my words suck ass anyway. That's a whole other article though. <br /><br />My blueberry bush is on the way!!!!Cheryl Anne Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564041914501542048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20796627.post-86714137358675605472010-04-29T06:51:03.242-05:002010-04-29T06:51:03.242-05:00Nicely said.

There was a time when I hated it and wanted to be surrounded by concrete instead (when I was young and lived at home on the farm). <br /><br />But my parent's green thumb gene must have been rooted deep inside, or I'm slowly turning into my parents. Probably both. April is my favorite month because the nurseries open up and the weather turns nice enough to get outside and plant and weed. It is also my favorite time to write. <br /><br />For me, gardening requires more physical work, but provides me with happier emotions in the end. With writing, it is indeed the opposite. Less physical work, but my emotions are usually a thunderstorm during the process.<br /><br />And when you plant your words to grow, they aren't always as beautiful as you hoped they be. And certainly don't always bloom. My flowers in the garden don't always either, but I'm usually not as mad when that happens.<br /><br />-ShannonShannonhttp://www.llbookreview.comnoreply@blogger.com
