Here it is mid April. The snow is still a few inches thick on the vegetable garden. Ah, but low and behold, below the earth are fresh, sweet, and juicy carrots. While I was out raking today, I decided to check to see if I could find the carrots that were left in the garden last fall. We had checked before, but with no luck. Today, I turned over a chunck of snow, and there they were, gleaming up at me. The beautiful orange tops sticking out of the mud and snow. They had survived the brutal winter and pounds of snow. The tops were still green. It was awe inspiring.
Tonight, we will have fresh carrots with our supper. Ah, isn’t spring wonderful
