He feeds upon the Fair-
And yet-inspected closely
What Abstinence is there-
His is the Halcyon Table-
That never seats but One-
And whatsoever is consumed
The same amount remain-
----Emily Dickenson
I guess this poem spoke to me this month because I am ever hopeful that with this brand new month rolling around there will be cooler weather, plentiful rain. Yes, I will keep hoping. Aren't we as gardeners always hopeful with every seed started, every flower, shrub and tree planted?
