Sprung Spring




Spring on the Oxbow campus is fantastically beautiful. Thoreau might call it a "delicious" time of year, and rightfully so...the trees are blooming, the birds are singing, and the gardens are booming. The greenhouse is full of tender new green life. It happens every year, but it never ceases to be a surprise.




This hasn't been the rainiest of winters, but it certainly was a cold one, and for a while there it felt like nothing would ever grow again. Then, seemingly over night, there is so much to eat. Look at the leeks! And the arugula! And the broccoli is huge! And the hens have started laying again! Delicious indeed.
