Gosh I loved this. Like I always do your words.

The other gardening-related concept that I’ve applied in the past when I’d be frustrated with the lack of ideas emerging from the previously plush gardens of my mind was letting things lie fallow. Farmers do it, rotate crops to another plot, to allow regeneration of nutrients in a field.

Maybe this period was your fallow time, and now a new crop is ready emerge. I’m excited for the bounty 😊

Yes! You really can feel the first signs of spring if you look hard enough. Just the glimpse of a little warmth in the sun this morning is enough to bring the feeling of hope and regeneration that spring always brings.

I do wonder whether February might be my favourite month. If it’s not February then it’s May with all the green that it brings. No scorched grass by that time and everything growing fast. By February is like a box of goodies that is just starting to squeak open. The promise of new life to come. A feeling that we are nearly there.
