April 5th - Onions

It's been spring already for either a month or about 2 weeks depending on where you start (I, a weirdo, think it's spring from March the first). Long enough for things to start waking up. My lilac tree, planted to replace the one the gardeners killed, is growing for the first time. There's asparagus shooting up in places we thought were just dead soil, and here we have a thick and loamy song of growth and rebirth.

John didn't calculate for this to come out on Easter Sunday, I know. But it did. And I have to think of it in those terms now. New life from the ground. The earth exhales. We're coming back.
