This underlines why I love gardening. I talk to my plants and (flocculent - wonderful word) lawn. I know when they're happy or sad and I think they return the favour.
Yes! I think sensitivities among and between species are much more effective at picking emotions than we usually consider. You and your plants are fortunate to have each other! Thanks for the comment, Prue.
The peace and pleasure of trees... Sounds like a suitable title for a longer photo essay. Glad you enjoyed the images, Tom (and Linda). Always nice to tap into my other love: photography. Take care!
Love this article. I read The Secret Life of Plants years ago, and I still think about the possibilities…. Love your connection with many other current day concerns.
It would be nice if we could get to a place of thinking about "probabilities," don't you agree? Maybe some day Western medicine will get back to seeing time in nature as a go-to prescription for healing. Appreciate the comment, Jacque!
<<The spirituality and mystery of communication>> Never ceases to amaze me. And you are among those who allow both to unfold so naturally. Thanks, Barry!
I feel the connection like a mutual admiration in my garden, whether it’s planting, watering, weeding or simply observing. I care and am rewarded with life.

I don"t know what we would do without trees. They bring so much peace and pleasure. And thanks for the pictures. Tom
