A Bit Of Wisdom
This year I took a chance and I am glad I did! In Central Indiana it isn't wise to put plants outside until around Mother's Day (we had a heavy frost on May 5 this year). In mid-April there were a few very warm days and I took the ferns from our sunroom outside to enjoy their life. There was risk/fear involved. My wife works hard all winter to keep our ferns healthy and growing; the fear was two-fold: dead ferns and a frustrated wife! I didn't hesitate in carrying out my desire!
The result: In one of the ferns some robins have built a nest and are preparing to bring new life into the world.
Another result: The fern is alive and I am too!
There is an old wisdom saying that comes to us from Nigeria: “Hesitation enhances fear.” Generally I've found that taking action is good. This year I took a chance and I am glad I did!
