I am not a gardener, but I am married to one, which allows me certain insight into gardening knowledge and schedules and the like. Yesterday, Kate was talking about the growing season starting in earnest next month as she pointed at New shoots appearing in the ground, and I found that a very… exciting isn’t the right word, but a very winning concept to get my head around. It seemed early to me, almost; haven’t we just started winter? Shouldn’t everything be dormant for awhile longer?
But, no. The cycle is already beginning again, the growth is already underway. After the harsh start to 2015, it was tempting to think Well, this is just More of the same and surrender to the dark and the cold inside and outside of our heads, but knowing that the greenery is already making a comeback offers hope in some way.
