 ……I haven’t posted in a while, I will post about this later, when it’s all over…it’s been a trying time. But there has been light in the tunnel, even though we haven’t reached the end, as yet.<\/p>\n

The other day I received my winter catalogue of gardening must haves from Veseys Seeds in PEI..OK, PE. We really have to pamper Canada Post.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, please tell me, who sends you mail with your hardiness zone, as a requisite part of your address. My Vesey catalogue arrived with my customer number, my hardiness zone and finally my name and address.<\/p>\n

It spoke volumes – no pun intended. It made me think that we are first – OK, just a number. I think I got over this in first grade – but we are also part of a greater cosmos that is divided into zones – hardiness zones. For the gardener, this means your life will be much easier, if you plant the varieties that will flourish in your zone.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But I have to look beyond the 6A classification and read into it a life statement. We, like plants, are “hardy.” We have our zones, which means we have been bred to endure a climate of certain “hardships” and still we thrive. We come back year after year, to face these challenges. The year 2020, has been a year of hardships for many….too many. But, we were bred for it. We shall survive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thank you, Vesey, for reminding me of my strengths, with the simple addition of my hardiness zone.<\/p>\n

The pictures? The beauty of our endurance.<\/p>\n

Have a powerful day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
