RE: In Search of Spring... in Which we Pause to be Grateful for the Beauty Around Us

in #walkwithme8 years ago

We're slightly ahead in the Deep South. I have spent most of the past four days on my knees pulling out the "not flower" things coming up in great profusion. At least I'm closer to the earth and can feel and smell the richness of warm earth.

It could be worse! So far, so good.

Ah yes, the "not flower things" are doing extraordinarily well around here-- we seem to be growing an exceptionally fine crop of stinging nettles this year. But I think I get what you mean... there's something rather peaceful and nurturing about getting out there and "getting your hands in the dirt."

The politically inconvenient climate change has moved the average temperature zone northward from us over the past decade and we're struggling with new, invasive grasses and weeds that have reached the bothersome stage. It's always something!
