Here in the Southeast, the winter continues to be a rough one. Right now, we're in the midst of a snowstorm with possible power outages. Rather than worry, I'd rather turn my attention to the indoors where there's no shortage of garden-related activities. Among my favorite pastimes is garden poetry.

In-between Months, Odds and Ends, and Ubiquitous Yarrow
September's one of those in-between months, in my opinion. While it has a lot to do with the end of meteor shower season, the longer shadows and shortening days, ripening apples, and garden harvests, I think it goes all the way back to grade school. September was the end of summer; it was the beginning of another school year. An in-between month. A lot of stuff gets unnoticed during in-between months. Even something like Yarrow.

Early Bloomers in a New Land
After three weeks of a constantly spinning turnstile here, at the inn, my wife and I finally got away from the mountains and the winter for a couple days, heading for the coast and Point Reyes National Seashore. Imagine our surprise, discovering verdant slopes tumbling into the blue Pacific Ocean, full of life as well as the promise of life. Gray Whales were spouting off-shore, a variety of birds soared and zoomed and fluttered and hovered, a Bobcat hunkered down in the tall grass as we hiked by, Tule Elk foraged here and there, and an assortment of wildflowers were already in bloom.
