Weekend Mini Challenge: People and Places
Welcome to the Weekend Mini Challenge with Kim from writinginnorthnorfolk.com!

Heirloom Gardening
she spent the summer bent over
planting
weeding
harvesting
and I watched from my kitchen window
an old woman with a cane she used to search for
beans
cucumbers
strawberries
and I was the beneficiary of her labor
now I am the old woman in a garden
sowing seeds
saved
by her
and I harvest a bit of her with each picking
Luv how the circle closes, enfolding good memories and a bit of nostalgia
much love…

I can certainly relate to this one. I don’t have the cane but I could certainly be referred to as the old woman working in the garden just like my grandmother did in her lifetime. 🙂
