Seeds of hope
Snowflakes drift down through the sunrise, falling on a snowpack that's great for xco but that the 10-day forecast for 13332 doesn't predict will melt as we sidle into March. It's Saturday morning; the cats (indoor and outdoor) have all been fed; I'm listening to a CD of mid-70s Kate & Anna McGarrigle that BP just burned from old LPs—as a special sprise for me, cuz he knows how I love the McGarrigles; I've got my coffee brewed from organic beans from Hamilton Whole Foods; a loaf of wheat bread is baking in the breadmaker; I've cooked a mixed-grain cereal breakfast; e4444444444444444444444tg (that's Luigi's contribution); the washing machine's going and so is the dishwasher; my concentration is sufficiently recovered that I CAN WORK ON THE HANDBOOK TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ACCIDENT; and I don't care that there's no spring in sight, cuz my shipment from Pinetree Garden Seeds just arrived:
Nantes carrot
Swiss chard
Dwarf blue carled Scotch kale
Black seeded Simpson lettuce
New red fire lettuce
Big seeded maché
Traviata endive
Grosse bouclee escarole
Sorrel (we tore up our old crop when we expanded the perennial bed)
Rossa di chioggia radicchio
German chamomile
Hyssop
Flax
Marjoram
Anise hyssop
Burnet
Greek oregano
Lavender lavendula angustifolia
Lavender vera (the good stuff)
Pennyroyal (great for keeping the skeeters off ya)
Rue
Tansy
Eastern columbine
Rudbeckia
So I'm starting off my weekend with a smile on my face and a song in my heart, as it were.
