I have been trying to get out and work in my flower gardens whenever I can. Working in the earth is very relaxing and also rewarding when you see the fruits of your labors. I guess alot of people have decided to "go green" and save money and as a result all of the community vegetable garden plots were taken up this year. So, no vegetable garden for me but that means I can spend more time on my house which I need to do. I started by taking down my old dead morning glory in the front and by planting some flowers in the little strip of dirt underneath. Buried in the dirt was a little piece of paper with the message "I miss You" written on it. I know it is just a piece of trash that blew over but it still made me smile in a sad way. I thought of my mom and of Heather and other people that have left my life and I felt like perhaps they are thinking of me sometimes. Not a day goes by that I don't think about them. Song for tonight:
Think of Me-Phantom of the Opera
"Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .
Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . ."
