Oh it’s raining

Thunder, lightning, the whole thing. There is nothing more New Englandy than a good rain.

My seeds are getting watered. Literally and figuratively. My friends told me to plant seeds on the day of the new moon. I had planted one day early so I planted a few more the next day.

I’m a little worried about how sporadic and crooked my carrot rows will be. I’ve never planted beets before. I see how metaphorical seed planting is. I’m excited to see what happens next, much less in the in long run, when there will be vegetables to eat. It seems pretty far fetched at this point, but in 56 days, things will be manifested. We can be confident of this because it’s been seen to have happened year after year.

This early in the gardening game I have a lot of waiting ahead of me. Probably some weeding as well. Life is like this.
