Saturday, spring cleaning

“May and June. Soft syllables, gentle names for the two best months in the garden year….The discussion of philosophy is over; it is time for work to begin.” — Peter Loewer
It’s the first weekend in May — and the climate is ripe for “de-wintering” my closets. I love the feeling I get when I unload things I no longer need or use. Likewise, preparing my garden for summer plants is a soulful affirmation of my belief in fresh starts and second chances. Outdoor clean-up, especially, is the perfect warm-up exercise for unloading the heavier emotional baggage â old grudges, toxic relationships, and foolish expectations â that I’ve been hoarding far too long. How are you celebrating the season, and what are you doing to renew your outlook? — CL
