Christmas in May

4/25/2020

0 Comments

 
Santa takes one day off after Christmas is over before preparing for the next one. We are usually so preoccupied with the glitter and excitement of the season we don't realize it is a year long effort with not only the manufacture of presents, but also the logistics on how to transport them and not to mention the change in taste and behavior of children as they grow a little older. Wooden cho-choo trains just don't cut it like they used to. Regardless of age, it is as much in the anticipation of a gift as it is in the receipt, sometimes more.

When a garden center opens for the season, it is like Christmas for one segment of the population as is hunting or fishing for another. When Christmas in May arrives, Mother Nature is Santa. That which was dormant comes to life. Flowers replace twinkling lights, green grass replaces white snow. The spirit of the season is the same.

Well, Christmas is nearly here and there are a few cho-choo trains out there, but there are also many versions of electronic games envied by many, some soon to be left by the wayside when something better comes along. With plants, there is always something new. A flower opens, goes through its cycle, a new one takes its place, changing ever so slowly yet noticeable. Despite the news, we anticipate this May will be the best Christmas ever. Merry Christmas!

The Crystal Ball

4/14/2020

If we had a crystal ball and looked into it we would see a summer of activity in our yards. The grill smoking, family members seated in lawn chairs staring at their phones, and flower pots overflowing with flowers. It would almost appear normal except we'll be constantly cautioned by the media. The season changes but the threats do not.

A threat is anything that takes us from our comfort zone. Threats are often there, undetected, ignored. Some of us will contract this virus to which the solution they will decide for part of the population is to run its course while behind the scenes labs are busy researching and developing a more scientific solution in the form of a shot to be administered. This too will result in success for some and an added risk for a small percentage. We are never without a potential threat no matter what we do.

Despite all the negativity reported in the media, they also report many positives. These are tough times for some individuals and groups. Some fold while others step up to a higher purpose. Sometimes that higher purpose is to simply to be there when needed. We hope that when the time is right, we all find our place to contribute in a positive way. We don't need a crystal ball for that.
