If you saw the photos I posted on my Facebook page, you may already know that I did a little procrastinating when it came to my gardening chores last week.  Truth is I was feeling a little overwhelmed again.  Apparently, while I was waiting for Spring to get here, the evil fairies who plant all of the weeds in my garden got a head start and I was in no hurry to battle them. 
Then things started to bloom and I suddenly became a fiercely protective garden ninja warrior armed with gloves, shovels, clippers and trimmers.  And once again my garden became a metaphor for my life,  reminding me that it is by focusing on what makes me happy that I find the motivation to deal with all of life's problems and challenges. 
Here are some photos I took of what's in bloom in my gardens right now:
