Giant Cherry Tomatoes Ready to Go Into the Dehydrator

Enjoying some edible flowers (pansies, marigolds, nasturtiums, chive and basil flowers) and found myself wishing I had borage and bee balm in my garden. I’ve tried in the past, but they tend to take up more space than I have for what they offer. Perhaps I will try again anyway.
Found a seedling of Korean licorice mint at the Fresh Farm market at Penn Quarter yesterday. If it takes, it should be a nice addition to the mint, lemon balm, and verbena I use to make infusions (hot and iced).
This morning I stayed in bed after the alarm sounded and listened to the rain. It was peaceful and pleasant, but it was not meditation.
Listening to the rain made me extra glad to have spent so much of the weekend in the garden. The new plants are drinking up the fresh water and will almost soar when the warm sun returns at the end of the week.
Thinking about how the garden will flourish because I laid the ground to enable it to get the best of the rain and the sun inspired me to get up and take my meditation seat, even though I was late. It is practicing consistently that lays the ground for us to be ready to have the fullest, most joyous, and most optimal experience of ourselves, the world, and our spirit whatever comes and whenever it comes.
