Philosophical Me (in the garden)

I am enjoying all the new developments in the garden. Things that I have yet to see bloom- either recently planted (like the bulb border below that we planted last fall) or else deciding finally to burst forth with some kind of display (like the three year old barrenwort plant above). While the world can be a vexing place where some things gel and others fail to launch, I am often comforted by the things that happen in the garden, just because they want to, or they can, or they are suppose to. Just like real life.
