My neighbor, Connie, planted thornless raspberry bushes on Thanksgiving Day. I tell you, there's nothing like 6 inches of snow to get a gardener going on those very last projects of the season.
The snow has insulated the ground and kept it from freezing. So Connie just dug in with her spading fork. "Well, my fingers did get cold," she said.
And when the first snow falls on our snowy heads, what's the one last project we will want to do?
One of Connie's best friends, Wow, is dying of cancer. Wow's advice is "Be more present."
Today.
It's the only day we have.
