Now who just turned the corner?
Do you ever wonder just what it is that makes the difference from one moment to the next?
Do you ever just do a double take and wonder?
Say what? How did that happen?
Wait a minute how?
This morning found me ABLE! Able to gently pop the dry poppy plants and then sit in the shade of the garage and pop the pods off the plants.
Meanwhile a little bee taught me. Showing me how when even the plant seams dry and feels yanked from the earth life still can be found in it. He joined me in my work as he did his. A fat little bumble all covered in golden pollen.

I found my self singing. Many songs through my mind worshiping and then an old song "where have all the flowers gone?"
WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE
words and music by Pete Seeger

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing

After some time in the garden I realized I was using my hands! My wrist! May arms and shoulders.
Wait a minute?!
All right you who pray for the... and from the... kindness of your hearts.
It appears my hands are back.
I will tend to them as not to over do it too much. I love being a busy bee. I think I will hold on to some skills learned...DELEGATE
ICE?HEAT (nothing like a cold drink and a warm cloth to wash my face :)
ALWAYS KEEP MY SONG!
And rest now for I am tired. Boy was it a blast to work though. I love my life. Picking poppy pods to add beauty to a world that so sorely needs it. I plan in the fall to toss it on road sides and vacant lots.
Everyone has their part:)
