I finally got some stubborn lettuce and kale seeds to sprout after what felt like an endless wait. I thought the seeds were bad, but no, they just needed winter sowing. As I tended to my little garden, I noticed this abandoned bird’s nest in one of the shrubs, a testament to the passage of time and the cycles of nature around me.
The Japanese white dandelions are blooming again, brightening the landscape with cool white, and to my surprise, I found a double bloom, a rarity I have never seen before. It’s amazing how nature continues to reassure me with its beauty and resilience as the seasons change and occasionally puzzles me with an oddity.
