A Gardener

I've always considered my husband the family gardener.

 

This year, though,

I realize that I'm a gardener too.

I always hesitate to give myself labels.

Labels seem to imply expertise,

or be all-encompassing.

I am not an expert gardener.

Gardening does not encompass my life.

Gardening is a part of my life,

and I can hold my own tending to a garden.

So, there. I'm a gardener!

(You may have thought from my posts

that I've been a gardener all along.

Well, I guess you made the discovery before I did!)
