Dreaming of White Clover

 

Got a call from a friend from Galena

Want me to check on the house? he asks

Sure

He called back and said our propane tank was empty

and it is 5 degrees outside

and we are on a keep full basis.....so much for that

 

Now, don't worry, it's taken care of

and we always shut the water off

but.....lordie.....this winter

has been one lesson

that I am still trying to figure out what I need to learn

from it

 

I guess....trust that this too shall pass

and tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes

and tomorrow is always a gift

as is today

I have been looking out the window a lot

surveying the frozen tundra of a garden

and wishing and dreaming and lusting for color

making plans

Wanting to make a new garden this year

redo a few areas.....I know I say that every winter

But this time it is different...I am thinking

small and do-able

not grand and overwhelming

like sewing white Dutch clover in a barren area

between houses....oh! I hear you screaming

But I am wanting more bees and the smell of clover flowers

and the ability to make clover necklaces

while lying in it

 looking up

with sky mind

 yes....I think I shall invite clover in

and let the sorrel stay

along with the purple clover that bees

go gaga over

I am a wench after all.....I welcome all

Who am I to stand in judgment of anyone

Come all ye faithful

Yes this year it will be different

I shall do as I please in my garden

and it shall please me

joy
