garden tutorial

the bright sun has ended four days of rain
the garden is soaked
it is much too wet to work.
I am anxious to get on with it
to finish planting my garden
but,
it is too wet.

this is good-
the garden teaches patience
and schools the gardener
in the time of eternity. . .

a day or three or four
won't make much difference
in the grand scheme of the garden
the garden is ruled
by sun and rain
and not by
clocks and watches
or even
my appointment calendar. . .

I agree it will wait but knows the feeling of wanting to plant so the veggies come in earlier.
Patience is a must..
