A new garden.

(a familiar friend enjoying a lack of frost damage this morning in the garden)

This Christmas I received a garden and hope for a new queen.  

I also got some great new running shoes but as much as I will enjoy them, they are not quite a garden.  The garden is actually a few dozen new plants and planters that all tuck into my existing garden which seems like just an addition.  However, in spring, I know those dormant twigs will expand reshaping the space, introducing new movement, rhythms, and color.  A completely different garden.  I also had a new garden etched into my skin, but that is another story entirely.  

As for the Queen?  Well, I'll tell you tomorrow!
