Wellness

Hummingbird buzzed by my window today...I took it as a sign and went out for a walk.  I heard a squeaking, twisting noise like a tree was about to fall, and I hoped it would so I could tell people that I saw and heard a tree falling in the forest, but the noise was actually a bird being all metal and headbanging against a hollow tree.

I planted today.  Direct sowing a month before the final freeze--oh yeah, just fine.  I planted snow peas, snap peas, 2 lechugas, rainbow chard, radishes and cilantro!  I admired the bloody dock and parsely from last season, such sweet resilience.  I also have a lavender and a sage plant.  The rose bushes are surrounded by garlic (I have my own garlic greens, oh yeah).  The daffodils have been blessing my space for a month, flanked by little purple bulb flowers.  A week ago, I saw the tulips puckering.--today, one is developing thistle-pink stripes and is getting fat!
