I love mornings! Each one seems to being some new hope. If there can be hope for the day, well, then we might as well extend it beyond as well, mightn't we? All we really have power to affect is THIS moment, now. For me, a morning moment is a hopeful one.
Sunlight is streaming in through the kitchen i.e. greenhouse, window. The seedlings are stretching up from their respective pots to greet it in a loving exchange. After a week of rain, the sun encourages growth of all kinds. I know I will need to provide supportive structures for my peas that have just this morning veered from their directly vertical path, leaning in search of additional support. I have thought them so steadfast 'til now, yet here they show me that they too are vulnerable and it reminds me that I must get to work if I am to be a good steward of them!
The rains have significantly compacted the soil and where another trip to the city compost pile was already necessary, it is even more so now.
Now to the business of the morning:
Today is a leaf day. A number of herbs will find their start in this day. Basil, Oregano - Italian, Parsley - moss curled, and chives. Coffee grounds went into compost. Ah! And lest I forget, the Thai Basil, given to me by my ex-roommate, who was herself, Thai!
The seeds of a hopeful morning have been sown, now empowered thusly with the peace of things well begun, I enter my day!
