Seeds

Three months ago today was a rough day.

But today: we worked in the garden, a lady gave me a branch from her lime tree, our sow will farrow any day, the creek is full of water and very loud. The garlic I planted the first week that Benedict existed is now poking its heads out of the warming dirt. I wonder what kind of tree will grow from my Benedict seed.
And I am so glad for spring. So very glad.
