Signs of Life

Seedlings are the most optimistic things, don’t you think? They awaken some longing that I think I last felt as an elementary schooler as I headed home with my tiny pine tree on Arbor Day. These wee ones are Buttercup Squash. Please don’t ask me where I plan to plant even one of them, because I hear that they’re likely to take over my little garden patch. I wonder if I could train them to grow up a clothesline? I could have green squash bobbing in the breeze like lumpy paper lanterns…
