Asparagus--Carpe Diem

4/8/2012

1 Comment

 
When Laura first told me that she was pregnant last spring, I started to grow asparagus seeds in the basement. From that day, I thought of them as Zoë's asparagus. Today, I am going to build the asparagus bed next to the garden in honor of Zoë.

Laura was born in January and I was born in October. We used to joke that I gave Zoë to Laura for her birthday and that she gave her to me for mine.

We love asparagus at the Young's residence and I hope that Zoë's asparagus grows for many, many years honoring my baby girl. 

Zoë was a gift to all of us.  She taught us not to hold grudges and to enjoy life to the fullest right here and right now.  Nothing is guaranteed except for NOW, but I wish you all many, many years of health and happiness.
