Today was a split task of pruning the rose bushes or weeding the beds ready for planting. I chose to do the weeding which was pretty mindful, and meant we could have a good chat along the way. Someone quoted a Buddhist saying which seemed quite apt with Spring here and keeping the mind healthy "Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the Seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds" - tiny Buddha.com. The sunny weather was also energising and the time spent preparing the earth very satisfying. We sat outside with our drinks and biscuits after we'd finished feeling very relaxed and ready to move on through the day.
