Silence of the Snow
How still, serene the solitude
Of White, with lines of grey
The peace and blessed silence
Of a Nothern Winter day.
Yes, I know the gardeners in the South exult in early Spring
And the gardens of the North are but dreams
in the too clean hands of those still wrapped in down.
So here is a short list of things to comfort the Northerners.
Things you don't have (and don’t miss) because of your wonderful long cold winter:
Armadillos digging up the lawns, fields and anything they can get to, some really big holes too!
Chiggers, invisible, annoying, long lasting itch producing bug - the best reason to bathe nightly any day over 50 degrees!
Too Short Winter rest! Enjoy the silence of the snow!
Here in the middle of the Mid-West, not North - nor South
we seemed to have but one month’s rest between
the season of harvest storage
and beginning to start seeds.
I’m delighted to have the greenhouse to jump start the growing life,
but I imagine another month’s rest also would have been good.
Where ever you garden - Grow Happy!
