The Warmest Winter

Photo Credit: Jim Werner's River in Yosemite National Park, CA CC BY 2.0 I thought I was staving off death. Little did I know that I was cooperating with life. Many months ago, I decided to buy a few jasmine vines and place them in flower beds on the small patio where I live. Not knowing much at all about gardening, I was hesitant to believe that they would even grow beyond their original few-feet height when I bought them. I told myself that they looked fine with their dark green vines, lack of flowers notwithstanding. I kept watering them every now and then... every now and then for months, and months, and months, with no signs of new life. I thought I was staving off death; little did I know that I was cooperating with life. It's only been within the past few weeks that something started to happen that took me by complete surprise: they've started to multiply by growing bright green branches. What has been my new fascination throughout this process? Seasons.
