A quiet morning in the Garden

Good morning my fellow single Gardeners, I'm Leland From North Dakota Usa I’m 56. I was married for 35 years before I lost my husband three years ago. I don’t usually put myself out there like this. It feels a little strange.
The house is still the same, but it sounds different now. I didn’t realize how much background noise two people make together until it was gone.
I’ve always kept a small garden tomatoes that split if I don’t pick them in time, herbs that somehow survive my neglect. I’m not a permaculture expert. I’m just a woman who likes putting her hands in the dirt and feeling like something is still growing.
I lost my mother recently too. That changed something in me. It made me realize I don’t want to spend the rest of my years only talking to the wall and the grocery clerk.
I miss simple things. Someone to ask, “Does this frost look too early to you?” Someone to taste the soup and say it needs more salt. Someone who understands that at our age, companionship is less about impressing each other and more about being steady.
I’m not looking for rescuing or whirlwind romance. Just conversation. Maybe friendship. Maybe more if life is kind.
If you’re in this season too, you can say hello.
