In Ontario, the May long weekend is traditionally the opening of outdoor gardening season. Gardeners start many seeds inside ahead of time and have laboured to prepare the garden beds to receive the baby plants. Other seeds can be planted straight into the garden once the risk of a visit from Jack Frost has passed. Do you have a garden you are tending? What plants are growing in your garden?
Day by day the earth awakens a little more. Maybe you have been tending some little seedlings inside your home - waiting for the day you can transfer them to their outside garden home. Maybe you have been keeping an eye on a nest near your home and patiently waiting for the baby chicks to hatch. (One of the nests by my house has four blue eggs in it and the other nest has three blue eggs in it!). Spring is so full of wonder, anticipation, and excitement!
“The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.”
