Just a reminder...

Perennial gardeners are time travelers. When we see this...


We think, "Mmmmm stratification."

Time travel doesn't mean we get to skip around like idiots causing paradoxes. It's more of a Billy Pilgrim thing. It means we're required to look at the big picture. It means seeing the lushness in the middle of February, knowing the potential that is lurking, waiting, cracking open in the ice, reseeding itself at a frequency we don't usually perceive. To paraphrase what a very wise woman once said to me, "There's no summer garden or winter garden. There's just garden."

Winter Is Real

And it's six months long in upstate NY. That leaves two months each for spring, summer and fall. I am not fuckjing kidding (notice Nordic spelling- that's not a typo). Lately they're calling it "nuisance" snow. Like it won't knock your power out or bury your car or kill you. It'll just fjuck up your day. For days on end. AND IT WON'T DELIVER A PUPPY ON THE NEXT WIND. The enjd.

PS: Ink didn't post this. I'm using his comp again. You know why? Cuz it's a laptop and it's warm. Unlike the sun. Fjuck yjou, wjeak wjinter sjuck sjun!
