Report From PIA – March 24
The sun came out today and illuminated all of the fresh green growth that is springing out of the soil. The chives, bulbs and daylilies are spring’s over-achievers…they are taller every day.
We love this time of year because it’s easier and more colorful. There is no snow to shovel or winter coats, hats and gloves to don before going out. The landscape flourishes, and soon bright flowers will begin the kaleidoscope of colors that the spring and summer brings.
I think that there are other reasons that we delight in this season, however. I believe that we resonate with growth, and on a very fundamental level it echoes in our minds, hearts and souls.
This time of year there is tremendous energy about, a spring fever if you will, and if we’re open to it, we can use this for our own growth. Spring is about much more than the growth of plants. How can we use the divine energy of renewal to make our lives better?
The daylily and daffodil foliage is springing up, and soon I must edit out the excess feverfew that is also greening quickly. Just because a plant germinates and starts to grow, doesn't mean that it should stay. The gardener needs to edit out vigorous self-seeders.
