When I got back, mid coast Maine Spring had sprung. The trees' limbs, bare when I left, now glow with pale green fringe. Tulips have lifted their colorful heads - still buds - but soon to bloom. We went to Waldoboro to the organic garden center and bought seedlings: tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, Brussels sprouts. We'll plant carrot and radish seeds. Also bought lovely colorful Coleus and some Marigolds. We bought manure and turned soil. This weekend - planting. Also I will buy some Pansies and Petunias for the planters.
Nothing says peace like freshly turned soil, bursting with worms, and warm from the afternoon sunshine.
A deeply needed comfort in the wake of unhappy news about health challenges - and worse - impacting dear friends.
Let there be soil. Let there be peace.
