I find this to be a brilliant little piece of life lesson.

Persistence.

Cinnamon Basil growing in this years herb garden.

Since I was a young'n I always had a green thumb for gardening. If there was space, and my mom was travelling to the local nursery to find plants-I went along to hit up the seed stand to pick out which vegetables I wanted to grow. I remember planting, growing, and harvesting my own carrots, corn, onions, radish, and tomato. I thought it fascinating that I could plant those seeds, water them, and a few months later be pulling fresh food from the ground. How cool is that? And, for someone as highly impatient as I am-gardening commands patience. Like it or not. That's therapy for me. Good things can come with patience.
