Seasons

The cycle of life, has many components with two parts being the pretty major contributors, birth and death.  Life comes  alive when the conditions allow them to and Spring is conditionally a good time for life.  Currently living in the South, there is an abundance of life right now.  Everything seems to be coming into bloom, and walking down the streets of uptown New Orleans on a sunny day smells like a refreshing bar of soap.  Up North, life has just begun to sprout. 

The ground and soil are beginning to unfreeze, allowing the resilient vegetables which made it through the Yankee winter have now started to peek from beneath the rich comforting blanket of composted soil.  On the hill, several things have begun to sprout back, namely green onions (scallions of the North), chives, thyme, and parsley.  These ruffian winter resistant plants were met by a new friend, lettuce, which just got planted this week.  Together they will enjoy nutrients from the soil, sun from, well the sun, and eventually get to meet my knife, but until then grow well veg-e-tables.
