Transplanting Gardens

Yesterday I transplanted bits of my garden from NJ to MAINE.

HYDRANGEA, PEONY, BLACKBERRY VINE, CORAL BELLS, RHUBARB.

Dead looking bulbs come out of wet plastic bags that Lee and Camille lovingly packed.

Int. MAINE soil on a lovely warm November day.

Will these bulbs take root?

Will my clippings adapt and adopt this foreign strange soil?

I feel like these ugly bulbs today.

No sign of Spring or Summer on me at present.

Will I take root?

Will I bloom here?

Will this dead looking stick, wet with dirt, become a Peony?

Give It Time.

Wait till Spring.

Be patient with the DARK-IN-MUD winter sleep.
