A little Hope

Getting ready for seed
Its Spring, really you wouldn't know it stepping outside. Seems winter cold just wants to stay. Today at least the wind has stopped howling. Yet you step outside to that beautiful blue sky and the breeze of winter wraps around your body.

So steps take you to the greenhouse and you step in and breathe dirt humidity and the chance of spring. Taking a little seed from a packet, moving it into a mixture of dirt, and water knowing it will slowly grow and be wanting to go in the ground yielding a summer dinner, in the warm sun on a deck.  It is a journey for sure getting your hands in the dirt, as you have enjoyed your winter and you are longing to see color, and enjoy warmth around your body. Not only does a greenhouse give you hope of days ahead, it fulfills a a place deep inside of Hope, hope its a hard beautiful thing easy to let go but even more fulfilling to to take in the steps and hard work to fulfill your hope. A yearning many don't get to take into a life. With days being filled of everyday work, cleaning running kids, doing for others. It seems our world has lost a little of that precious gift of Hope. It should be instilled in our children our friends people we care about. Without Hope you lose a little piece of life. You lose a notion to Strive for things that are out of your reach, you lose memories of a life that should be shared and passed down.

So on this day if spring hasn't quite reached you yet, and you are yearning for spring, and peeking to the days of summer ahead, I urge you even if ts a cup of dirt and one seed. Plant that seed, let it give you a little hope.

It doesn't have to be a seed of plants or veggies, a seed of something you have wanted to achieve, Plant it today and watch it grow daily a little hope each day will turn your life a little each day, and it plants a seed in your soul to grow.


~~~Have a Beautiful day......Annette
