Jeanne Hannah said… - Hey Carol, gardening is a great stress releaser for divorse...I would pretend "off with his head" when I weeded through my yard during a two year divorse. Good news is that I ended up marrying the man of my dreams and he likes helping me! The best to you and what a nice son you have!
