This little pansy made it through the big Nor’easter and was completely covered by heavy wet snow. When we think of the word pansy we may think of weakness. We need to check ourselves. Everything and everyone has their particular gift and strength.
Loving my home on a snowy day
“Knowing that you love the Earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the Earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.” – Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
Snowdrops!
Heading into my Master Gardener class at Edgerton Park, there were snowdrops (Galanthus). Enjoy!
Sewing Seeds
It’s late winter. I’m MORE than ready for Spring. I’m launching this new Green Rachel website — and I don’t know what will come of it! It feels like opening a packet and sowing those mixed wildflowers; some will grow and some won’t. Some may be invasive even! So, we’ll see what lives and thrives and what flowers here.
