Symphony of Spring
by Ogee
As the season starts to turn, it seems to happen at a snail’s pace…literally. It’s like the orchestra tuning to find that perfect pitch. Things seems to unfold in starts and fits, and we keep saying…”just wait.” And then, after an almost unbearable pause…the symphony begins.

Something to Dream On
by Ogee
“She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head, And whispered to her neighbor: “Winter is dead.” ~ A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young With a brief, but welcome rain this week, followed by unseasonably warm temperatures, the garden truly came to life. I should stop saying “unseasonably warm” and just get accustomed to it. Those who don’t believe in climate change surely are not gardeners. Sarah is back; returned from a year of hard labor on the […]
