What is spring?
The sound of trimmers and blowers as hired gardeners appear on the first seventy degree day, even before the grass needs mowing or the leaf buds sprout.
What is overcommitment?
Cramming twenty seven different varieties of vegetables into a four square foot plot.
What is patience?
A seed sprouting in spite of years of drought, floods, fire, and disease.
