Playing in the Dirt

Hello!

I planted flowers this week.

I LOVE flowers! Love the way they look and smell.

Flowers make everything beautiful.

As I was digging holes, covered in dirt, sweat pouring off me, mosquitos and ants tasting me....I heard a voice....

"Looks like my neighbor is sitting on her butt playing in the dirt!"

At first, I thought...playing???? I hate planting and getting dirty and all.

Then I realized that my neighbor across from me had looked out of her window, got herself up, took off her oxygen, and made it just outside the door to speak to me!

I smiled and talked with her for a moment.

When I returned to my dirty job, I looked at it a little differently.

I had the opportunity to play in the dirt like a kid and my neighbor had to remove oxygen to just get out the door.

We take many things for granted, do we not?

Thankful today for dirt.
