I've been doing some more housesitting in Martha's vineyard. This time of year, the vines are dormant, but in need of pruning. I find a great similarity between the vines and my own life. I am in a waiting period...waiting for a public health job, waiting for a relationship, waiting for my children to be self-sufficient, waiting on the Lord. I'm not always so good at waiting. It helps me to see nature imitating life. Not always are we moving forward, sometimes we are resting and replenenshing for the next spurt of growth. Have I ever told you Spring is my favorite season?! Bring on the growth...it's coming, and I will share with you as it unfolds. However, the pruning part might have to come first. I hope it doesn't hurt too much.

I'm not always so good at waiting either...
Great post! And fitting, since you're surrounded by vineyards and grapes much of the time.
