Oh, I'm chronic. Doing that springtime gardening thing, where you look at all kinds of photos you've save that show all kinds of impossibly cool garden ideas and plans and structures that you are actually never ever going to manage but you sit in the la la land for just a bit,

before actually going out and cleaning up and setting seeds in soil in your study and covering them and watering them,

all from plants you grew last year, and then lose track of which is which and go out and plant the young ones and

 try desperately to have the energy to weed as fast as the stuff comes up while mulching,

til you call it a truce, and where you are at is where it will be.

And then you go water water water and feed some and compost some and fine tune some

and sit a whole lot and watch everything grow and feel the something

coming up from the emerging power and life that is

the neighborhood and the microbes and the insects and the land that was there long ago long

before you were born

and you immerse yourself in the wonder that is the garden.
