Fertile Imagining, Gardens in the Mind

I am consumed with the fevered planning of this year's garden: staring hungrily at my icy yard; gathering last year's seeds and introducing them to this year's unmuddied packets; imagining what, where and when. Never in my frenzied fantasy garden has a vegetable lifted itself from the dirt and gone for an afternoon stroll. Seeing this picture makes me realize: 1. I am still a novice, and 2. I need more paths in the garden.

Cater To Me

Big food, big grub. Food in multiples, multiplicity. Line 'em up, knock 'em out. Eat the scraps.

Uninvited House Guest Stays For Dinner

Fall into Spring

The leaves are falling, things are dying all about us-- going dormant, lying under ground, waiting for the next cycle to begin. Naturally, I'm thinking about planting bulbs. I'm happy to know that when all is frostbitten, and the chill winds blow the last dead shreds of vegetation about above the ground, below there are embryonic spring flowers building a root system, preparing for the day when it's time to push the green stalk with its papery bud, its fat pod enclosing the flower that proves to us once again that nature's wheel really does spin incessantly, mindless of our worries.
