Daily Photo: Coming full circle

Chie and I took a trip out to Portland Nurseries today to pick up our spring herbs. What a beautiful place! Their plants were really well cared for and they had a fabulous selection.

After she went down for her nap, I got to dig around in the dirt a little. The smell of soil makes me feel so connected to life. The largest pot has lilac starts that we obtained last year at Gus' family's homestead. I'm pleased to say that all three seem to have weathered through and will give us some viable starts so that the rest of the family can share in this little connection to the past.
