Negative Thoughts are Weeds in our Minds

by Barbara Latta

I love spring because warmer weather and flower planting are on the agenda. Usually, by the time I come out of hibernation the bulbs placed in the ground during the fall months have already started pushing through the earth with new blooms. The fresh growth calls for additional plants to fill the garden space.

However, after being dormant all winter unwelcome invaders attack my flower garden. Weeds! They not only ruin the look of the garden, these culprits can choke out the beautiful plants I love. Pulling wild growth out of the ground can become hard work, but if attacked while small, the task is easy. Those weeds started out as seeds that were dropped onto the ground or blown there by the wind.  The villains weren’t noticeable until growth appeared.

Sowing and Reaping

Foggy beach at Jekyll
Island

This week Ken and I attended the Georgia HOG Rally on Jekyll Island with our friends, Russ and Cindy McGee. The trip was fun despite the fact that we were on an island off the coast of Georgia and didn’t see the sun until the day we left to go home. That’s OK because at least we did not get rained on.
