The days of watching your young children grow into their own little people is fascinating and so much fun. I'm glad you're taking the time to take notice of the wonders of it ... it's a time like no other.

It's rewarding beyond all measure. And the best part is that you don't need to send off a soil sample to find out what is wrong because our kids are more than capable of letting us know that they have a donut deficiency or that they need another injection of juice box. And, of course, you get four seasons of interest with kids.

I just remarked to my wife the other night about how I never would have thought so much of parenting is being nostalgic for something that occurred just a short while ago. Without a doubt, children are the most important things we garden. <br /><br />Times of transition and upheaval can be so stressful and demanding. Good on you, brother, for keeping your heart 'uncemented.'

But what a gorgeous display when in bloom! The poem was quite sad. I do think gardening opens our hearts.
