s the calendar flips to May and then June and July, one thing that we all can stand to do more of is get out in the garden or look at ways to update our backyard. Sure, summertime is for taking those long-awaited vacations, being with friends and family, and enjoying some consistent weather. I’m certainly not insinuating that we kick those plans to the curb. But if you aren’t planning any trips this summer, or if you have some time in between getaways, get out and update your yard. Mow the lawn. Plant some pretty flowers. Clean some of the excess garbage out from below the shrubs! Call someone local to give you an estimate on a fresh look for a backyard patio or pool. I bring this up because having an outdoor area we can relax in is something that can be very soothing to us emotionally and spiritually during these crazy times we live in. Gardening alone is relaxing and therapeutic. And if we do it right, we can turn any space into something beautiful. I can’t say that I’m the world’s leading authority on gardening and outdoor renovations, but I can tell you that getting out there with Scott and the kids — or even by myself — has helped me recenter and focus on controlling what I can control. The rest, as they say, will take care of itself.
