“Why always ‘not yet’? Do flowers in spring say ‘not yet’?”
~Norman Douglas
No. Although flowers in winter, dormant or still only a sleeping seed’s dream, may say “not yet.” They might not be ready yet. But the great wheel will turn and their time will come around again.
It really is never too late to act on your dreams.
So you haven’t done it yet. So what? That sleeping seed’s dream within you is still precious, and the flower you envision may yet open from within you. It may have needed to wait until conditions were just right.
I just felt that someone out there needed this reminder today.
And if that someone isn’t you, well… I hope you enjoy the photos of the coneflowers, at least.
Namasté, y’all!

“The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.”
~Jean Giraudoux
I’ve lost a bit of that sense of the eternal seductiveness in the last 24 hours, struggling with some wretched virus or something that wants to grab hold of me.
Today was slated for starting the first of the lettuce seedlings. I got as far as filling the fiber flats with seed-starting medium… and then called it a day.
I’ll just go and rest now, with a fistful of new seed packets to mull over as I drift off to sleep.
“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.”
~Henry David Thoreau
(The entry for today kind of bothered me. It’s like I was babbling away with no clear direction. Maybe I do have an excuse, though. On Friday I was married, and we just got back to “normal life” today. Sigh.)
