Oh, yeah, spring is denitely here! As o yesterday, I am nowharvesting the rst ew spears o asparagus in my little garden

out back. I got the starter plants rom a guy on the Gardening in

the Carolinas orum (http://orums.gardenweb.com/orums/carol-

gard/), who said that he had some extras to give away. So now,

three years, Im nally enjoying the ruits o my willingness to take

a chance.

I havent gardened much since the death o my aunt, who I moved

here to take care o. I kept waiting or my nancial situation to

improve, and nally realized that I cant put my lie on hold whilewaiting or things to get better. So, I decided to start gardening

againon a budget, which means using seeds instead o plants.

And, while Im at it, Im going to return to other un activities, know-

ing that i I dont, Im going to look back in a ew years and realize

that I didnt take ull advantage o my time on this Earth. I always

Publishers pitch

wanted to post jazz and Brazilian guitar tutorials on YouTube, so got to it and have posted our so ar.

When I was a little kid, we used to visit my great-grandmother

who had to be placed in a nursing home. I asked my dad why so

many o the people there were sitting around looking so glum

and dejected. He said, Maybe they didnt create enough good

memories to live o o. You gotta go out and create lots o good

memories, so that when you get old, you can sit back and enjoy

them.

I remember that conversation as i it were yesterday. Im 57, and

Id better hop to it! See you next month.
