Growing things
Jun 5th, 2008 by Eve
In a month or less, the hills surrounding of the Sacramento valley will be gold. The flowers will be parched, the air thick with smog and redolent with drying grass.
But for now, everything is green and growing.
The bees are busy and seem to be showing up in greater numbers than last year. The scent of jasmine and honeysuckle and juniper from my front yard reaches even into the street. Birdsong, chirruping frogs, and crickets drown out the sounds of traffic and sirens.
Thus surrounded by growing things, life feels idyllic, bringing to mind simpler times.
Maybe more innocent times.
This is Eden to me.
