Leaves and seasons

Seeing that I have been virtually pain free over the past few days, I have spent the majority of it in the garden and in the sun.

Autumn ends this week here in Oz and Winter begins, well I think it has already begun. It's been freezing here at night time and last night it got down to 1 degree celcius which I think is about 36 degrees Farenheit. That's what I call a two dog night, meaning both dogs on the bed snuggling up. I have been sleeping in alot as well, waking up and then drifting back to sleep and not actually getting up out of bed until 10am! See what the winter does to me?

Anyhow spending this time in the garden has been alot of fun. I've planted some winter crops of what we call in italian "broccoletti" which is a cross between spinich and chinese broccoli I guess, a very bitter tasting green which is good for iron in the blood, so Im told. As well as planting and getting the ground ready we have been putting down alot of mulch due to the lack of rain the ground is in need of some protection and nutrients.

It's been so good to have some energy to do this. It certainly has lifted my spirits.

This week brings with it the trip to the drs, meaning hopefully getting back onto meds. I'm looking forward to it, fingers crossed everything will go how it should.

I've also been extremely introspective over the past few days. Thinking about everything from where my life is at the moment to what I have done with it and where it might be going. Maybe it has something to do with the seasons. The seasons of life and the seasons of nature I guess have a syncronicity to them.
