peacefully soiled fingernails

almost a whole week now to put my hands in the soil in the gardens

sunny, rainy, windy, cloudy--doesn't matter

for now is planting, weeding, mulching, growing time

time for old familiar friends to re-emerge

time to mourn those who were lost.

time to discover new beauties, rediscover long lost friends in the greenhouse.

time to portion off the smallest part of, or seedlings from, the familiar, introduce the new and the lost, and find a place for all to begin again.

generations in my gardens
