Rock gardens start off slowly. One must be patient! Patience is not an attribute I am known for. As spring sets in, my mind is replete with thoughts and images of all the things that will emerge from the dry, gravely soil. How I long to see more color! The pansies in pots satiate this hunger for the time being; their smiling faces remind me to wait happily rather than fret about the gaping holes.

And isn't it amazing to know your garden so well that you can observe every new little leaf and, even though it doesn't fill the gaping hole next to it, you still get excited?
Well said! Maybe that's tied in with the motherly instinct?
