I am learning that it is possible to want two contrary things at once. I want nothing to change. I want everything to change
I have been doing some winter sowing. Hands in the dirt. It helps me to make it to spring without losing my mind.
I love winter. I love the peacefulness of it. I love the glistening snow.
When I see the footprints in the snow I wonder what little critters are hopping around the backyard. I love the rest of winter. There isn't a lot to do to gardens in the winter.
I love to see the seeds on the plants that I left in the snow as the birds have knocked them off the dark brown stalks. When the snow was on the ground I could see their sweet little foot prints in the snow.
in the same way as I am excited for winter and the calmness it brings I cannot wait for spring. The newness.
Each day that I take a walk in the spring, first it's the crocus, then the tulips and daffodils. With each bud a new excitement of what will come this summer and excitement of the harvest.
Today I put in a new garden bed and I am dreaming of the summer's harvest.
Tomorrow I will plant more flower seeds to plant more beauty in the ground this summer!
It was good to spend some time outside dreaming about what is next!
