Once the sun had gone and the stars came out to play,
it only took a moment as the night then passed to day.
Looking through the window reveals a mesmerizing view of the world. In quiet preponderance of the frozen terrain, one may become clothed in the silence, eyes continuing to survey the grounds beyond them. Delving deeper into the sense of the season deeper into the sense of the change that surrounds us…& the north wind blows.
The garden has stretched her arms out through the snow-covered ground in simple solitude, to any who may care to notice. Notice the effortless pose of gratitude, the calm space that is held by her and the possibilities that lie frozen beneath.
As the cabin fever grows your eyes wander to that space. The cold and quiet space that speaks to you beyond the window pane, inspiring you to fill the window boxes of your mind with all things spring, all things blooming, all things warm and wonderful. You inform your eyes of what they see; clear of the weather predictions, or the snow that taunts the very definition of patience.
& as the north wind blows we take notice of her in brusque utterances and rattling shrugs & no one said love was easy.
So…. then if you can’t be in the season you love…
Well, then Love the one you’re in!
Stick the right plant in, pull that nasty weed out, turn the sprinkler on and ya watch it shake about, you do the garden hokey as your flowers dance around – and that’s what it’s all about – Right?
With 3 weeks left of 2013 after this one, we may want to take advantage of the few precious moments held within the finality of the year. Maybe your heart becomes full as you work in the garden – perhaps that phrase just made you cringe – so this week we say Chores or Cheers – suppose there is no law against both practiced simultaneously.
This time of year always amazes – Yes there is the typical hustle and bustle and yes it can be hectic and all that other jazz, what catches my eye is the cooperation.
Well…if you have your Boggs and if we were to compare Boggs – there are many a nice pair out there – I would have to say…. Kent Ohio has the biggest Bog of them all! Though I think we have gone off track, weren’t we talking about boots?
Wilt-pruf for the winter, the who what and why and what to do with the areas of lawn that receive a lot of salt in the winter.
Our daily lives are directed by water, the great conveyer in the Atlantic Ocean creates our weather pattern therefore dictating the work schedule of the outdoor industry-man or outdoor-enthusiast – water opened up a new mode of trade and transportation long ago – general plumbing, sewer systems, all of which changed the quality of lives, based on water.
