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.
