What’s Scary About Your Life?
I woke up with the desire to put my hands in the soil. It felt good to be outside in the garden, and I was happy for the fresh rain that made it easier to pull the weeds. I hadn’t planted anything in a while; and the last time I did, I was surprised to find two garden snakes. I expected to find the same two this time.
