If you ever desire a strenuous puzzle, one that will tax both mind and body, try getting one 33-1/2” wide commercial range out of a 34” doorway, and then another back through the same way. Highly recommended, especially when the newer range actually works. Huzzah!
“Seed”
The first warm day of spring
and I step out into the garden from the gloom
of a house where hope had died
to tally the storm damage, to seek what may
have survived. And finding some forgotten
lupins I’d sown from seed last autumn
holding in their fingers a raindrop each
like a peace offering, or a promise,
I am suddenly grateful and would
offer a prayer if I believed in God.
But not believing, I bless the power of seed,
its casual, useful persistence,
and bless the power of sun,
its conspiracy with the underground,
and thank my stars the winter’s ended.
