After very careful consideration and reflection, I decided it was time to update my old blog name LittleMsBusy to GentleSoulCraft. Following that change, I also updated LittleMsGreenies to GentleSoulGnome to make things consistent between the 2 aliases.
This 2019 Spring is my 3rd spring season I live in Melbourne and marked 3 years of my backyard garden. Whenever I see my garden, I always see some things to improve, to fix, to add, and so on. A few days ago, I was scrolling through old photos and realised that things actually had grown and changed significantly.
This was how the original garden looked like in 2016:
And now the backyard has a 4 beds crop rotation going, a very tall bay tree (that I brought along with me from Sydney), an overgrown Marshmallow trees and Dahlia:
The outdoor sitting area is surrounded by lush green grass, instead of the original crushed rocks:
So, this weekend, I'm going to appreciate my surroundings more and consciously remember that the perennials around me are doing well, growing stronger and taller, instead of focusing on what needs to be fixed and tidied up. I will of course do some weeding tomorrow morning, but I will definitely look at my plants with a different view and appreciation of them.
Let me know below if you have experienced this in the past and I welcome you to share your stories.
