America

Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, Stealing my breath of life, I will confess I love this cultured hell that tests my youth! Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, Giving me strength erect against her hate. Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood. Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. Darkly I gaze into the days ahead, And see her might and granite wonders there, Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand, Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand. Claude McKay

Hey everyone!

The greenhouse was rockin’ yest—sunny and 70. Today—temps are dropping and it rained all day. Sposed to be a high in the mid 30’s Mon, low in the low 20’s and possible snow. Bleh! I’m ready for spring!

OTOH, I did get a lot done in the greenhouse today! LOL Transplanting peppers and getting ready to do maters next week. Sowed some flower seeds yest and today and lots of herbs.

Y’all have a great weekend!
