My garden is my sanctuary. I praise God for the beauty–and thank Him for my health so I can bend and stoop, climb and cut. “Sweeping” is no small task because pine needles, and leaves, litter the patio and sidewalk–and millions of unpopped-popcorn-size seeds from the trees. (Don’t know their name. I do know they are considered “invasive“ and Texas would like to eliminate all of them.) ~~ Later: Did some research on the Internet. The trees are Chinese Tallow.
