"They [women] dream of plunging their hands into the earth, which is red as blood and soft, which is milky and warm. They dream that the earth gathers itself under their hands, swells, changes its form, flowers into a thousand shapes, for them too, for them once more. They dream of apples; they dream of the creation of the world; they dream of freedom."
-- Margaret Atwood

You are always a treasure box of encouraging quotes. This one is great....I love the picture it conjures up in my mind.

'Sometimes in my dreams I still see my Kentucky grandmother thin, strong and hungry-holding her egg money out to me,
saying, buy land, Mary, buy land, buy land while it still lasts,
they stopped making it.' Mary Mackey-1974
To me that is so sad. And I did buy land. MB

Great quote Jennifer. That's how I feel during these winter months. I can't wait to stop dreaming and start digging! It is so darn cold and snow out, that I won't get to garden for awhile. I am praying for an early spring!
