Perhaps it is my general emotional state: up one minute, down the next; glad to be home, wishing I were in Delaware; trying to concentrate on work, failing to concentrate on work. But I found myself incapable of enjoying the garden this week. This almost never happens to me. I’ve written many times about how I feel like I enter another dimension when I’m in nature. But I just couldn’t access that feeling this week, no matter how many times I walked outside. Perhaps it’s the paradox of the fall garden.
