How do YOU spell relief?

In the Spring and Summer, I grow vegetables to relieve stress. 

Digging, pulling weeds, and tugging baby carrots and onions from the soil--even the smell of tomato plants--soothes and relaxes me. 

In the autumn, I bake. Kneading dough, mixing pumpkin bread and Christmas cookies, then inhaling the warm, spicy smells that dance across the kitchen make me feel safe and cozy.

As to winter, well. . . never mind. We won't talk about that today. 

How do YOU spell relief when you are stressed? 

P.S. I will be taking a blogging break for a few weeks. Happy Thanksgiving!

What About YOU? Favorite Season

Every Monday I ask a question,

to get to know YOU better.

Okay, ready for today’s?

What is your favorite season?

Although Lady Spring allures me

with her vibrant tulip dresses

and scents of newly mown grass,

I cast my vote for Her Royal Highness, Summer.

My childhood memories spill over

with prancing through sprinklers,

slurping Granddad’s homemade ice cream,

and croquet games with cousins.

I adore the long, party-filled, barefoot days of Summer.

What about YOU?
