WRITING PROMPT: WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THIS PHOTO?
It was six fifteen in the morning. She had woken before the sound of her alarm. She had been waiting for this day and couldn’t believe it was finally here. It had rained through the night but now it had stopped. Cracking the window, she smelled the morning air. Most people would think she should be nervous but she was ready. In a way, she had been waiting for this day her whole life.
In the shower, as she shaved her legs, she admired her smooth skin, the gentle curves of her calves. They were a woman’s legs. Stepping out of the shower, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her breasts were beautifully shaped. She turned to the side. They had a nice lift. She combed her hair, and then gave it a bit more curl with her curling iron.
Georgy loved being a woman. As she brushed on her eye shadow she gently batted her long eyelashes. She didn’t paint on a heavy coat; she preferred the natural look with just a hint of color. Applying her rouge, she highlighted her high cheekbones. She was stunning and she knew it.
She pulled her fish net stockings over her long, soft legs, up to her waist and over that bump in front. This would be the last time she would have to tuck it away from view. Georgy had been living as a woman for nine years now. Today she would take the final step. Surgery was scheduled for eight a.m.
Putting on her favorite yellow pea coat with black faux fur trim at the collar and cuffs, she headed out the door. The streets were still wet from the night rains. The clouds were beginning to break. Walking towards the Golden Heart restaurant she recalled her youth as George. She had hated being called George. It never felt right. Georgy was a perfect name for her. The lyrics of that song that had inspired her went through her mind. “Hey there, Georgy girl, there’s another Georgy deep inside, bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d be, the world would see a new Georgy girl.”
After today, the world would surely see a new Georgy girl. She would finally be whole.
Our very own John Beaudry has just been featured in the news and the focal point was his very own Garden Sanctuary! We were very excited when we got the call saying that they had heard great things about John; from creating garden sanctuaries for others, to writing his own how-to book for those who want to build their very own nature space. After that the ball just kept on rolling. Their news crew came by and were able to really take in what John is all about, his life long dream of connecting people to nature in their own backyards. And now thanks to John, his dream, and the great team we have here at John Beaudry Landscape Design, we are able to do so. While also taking in our customers wants and needs, and what they envision in their Garden Sanctuary. If you're thinking this all sounds really great, then come on down to our Garden Party next month, July 20th. We will be showing John's garden, discussung his book, and letting others see how amazing one dream can turn out. If you are inspired to create your own, we can even answer any questions you may have! For further information regarding our Garden Party, or if you just want to call and chat about our fees and services, go ahead and give us a call at our office during business hours at 619.929.9140 and we'd love to discuss further!
In this beautiful city of San Diego, we like to maintain our garden's with as little amount of water possible. Maybe you've been thinking about using less water in your garden but don't know where to start nor look. Here a few easy steps that can help! Check your water pressure. If your water pressure is too high, it is very likely you’re using more water than necessary. Inspect your irrigation. Check, adjust, or replace any sprinkler heads that are damaged or leaking. Hydrozone properly. Water your trees less frequently but for longer periods than shrubs and perennials. Water at Sunrise or Sunset. Soil absorbs the most water during lower temps. Replenish your mulch. Maintaining a 3-layer of mulch can protect your soil from direct sunlight, allowing the soil to absorb more water. These are a just a few of many steps to begin creating a water-wise and beautiful, blooming garden! Call us at (619) 929-9140 so we can get started on creating your own sanctuary, low-water garden!
