this is just to say...

this is just to say
i have planted the brassicas

that were in the greenhouse.

and which you were probably wondering about.

forgive me. they are so sweet and so cute in the field.

(any william carlos williams fans?)

my, my, how march has nearly passed us by!

the broccoli and cabbage and peas are all surviving the fickle weather we continue to have.
new seeds are planted! flowers and carrots and radishes and potatoes!
and new starts are waiting for their turn to join the others!

there is a certain hope in the air as spring makes progress towards settling in.
there continues to be a dance to navigate with nature's mysterious rhythms.
i, too, am learning and growing alongside these teenage plants.

march is here.

as the weather dances between winter and summer, there is a certain patience required. a mindfulness. a humility. the change in seasons is beyond our control... and we must wait with a listening spirit for moments to touch the earth.

with bright clear days recently, the soil has had a chance to dry. and i have found windows of time to build beds that will soon be home to new plants.

it feels quite exciting to be productive. to realize this is real. this is happening. this is the dance i am in.

and the daffodils are smiling. these ambassadors of spring. these prophets of color. these voices of hope.

i continue to receive blessings of support, of faith. like this sweet, sweet, sign made by mama and daddy.

and the seeds that have been growing in comfortable warmth are getting braver. are getting ready to face the world.

march is here.
