		<description><![CDATA[“I saw another sign of spring!”  This is the battle cry against any lingering winter at my house. My children are very into pointing out the signs- a warm day and short sleeves, crocuses in the green grass, twittering birds, pussy willows and forsythia, daffodil buds, a bee, and lots and lots of fresh air.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel like a squirrel this month.  On Saturday I canned six jars of plum jam with plums from my neighbors yard. I set them on the shelf next to the elderberry, blueberry, rhubarb, strawberry and raspberry.  On the shelf beneath there is an assortment of pickled things- cucumbers, beans, peppers, cauliflower, and carrots.  My [...]]]></description>

Yet, I felt enlivened. The birds were singing that distinctly new song. Those of you who know bird song, could tell me which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know where our wet spots are. I think I mentioned in my last prattle the extraordinary amount of rain this summer. Every gardener in Vermont has a different success and failure depending on the location of their &#8220;wet spot.&#8221; My failures were cucumbers and squashes. Their poor tendrils were literally floating in our maze [...]]]></description>
