Nourishment Needed

My red geraniums that have blossomed so beautifully have stopped blooming and any nutrients are going only into the leaves. I have neglected to fertilize this season and yet am still expecting the blossoms to grow anyways. How can the flower develop without the punch of nutrition that comes from fertilizer? This summer I'm finding myself renewed by very simple things. A manicure, a pedicure and even a facial have helped to make me feel beautiful again in very simple ways. Time to read and talk with my husband has nourished my spirit, helping to make me feel loved just for being me. And time spent with girlfriends has encouraged me greatly through having coffee together, going out for lunch and just taking the time to chat about things close to my heart. With these weeks to fertilize and pump nutrients back into me, I'm hoping I'll be ready to bloom once more where I am planted.
