I adore landscaping and gardening. It took me years to earn a green thumb, but now going out and doing things like weeding or spreading new mulch or composting are a labor of love. I even love cutting grass, so long as I'm on allergy medication. The smell of properly prepared, rich soil, the feeling of the warm moisture against my fingers, and patting it down around a root ball of a new vegetable plant or annual is like meditation.
