Don't they make you wonder what the taste of summer will be? I'm using smaller starter trays and when the true leaves come, I'll move them to the window sills in my office - more light, which is always my problem.

I have all this energy for gardening and all the desire to do it. Suddenly though, I'm aware of other ripenings. Tauri is going to have a baby in August. How very very odd. 18 (close enough) years ago, I was worrying about Janai and how it would all work out for her. Now Tauri is 17 1/2 (close enough) and she's going to bring another being into the world. All the fears, hopes, wishes and I will have even less interaction with this new person than I ever did with Tauri-and Lord and Lady Bless, that has been an interesting state of affairs. I'll tend the plants and worry about this descendant of mine and hope it all works out. I assume female because I've never known anything else. The child will be a direct line from history through me into a future I will not be here to see.

So we veered from gardening to progeny. I guess that's not such a big leap after all.
