A living resolution
By any honest accounting, most of us arrive at a new year carrying two things: plans for who we want to become and the weight of who we have already been. The temptation is to wish away the mistakes, to imagine a clean slate unmarked by bad judgment, missed chances or words we wish we had never spoken. But if we could erase all the mistakes of our past, we would also erase the wisdom earned by living through them. What’s done is done. It is okay to look back. It is dangerous to live there.

Garden follies
By Felder Rushing
This is the week where I usually do my annual Felder Fesses Up, in which I chronicle my previous year’s garden follies and foibles. But it wasn’t so bad after all.
Mostly, in my attempt to reduce garden chores to accommodate my aging old bones, I dug up scattered flower beds and planters, leaving just a handful I can easily manage and still get a good “color echo” vibe. I rogued out a bunch of nandina, pulled piles of Virginia creeper and Asiatic jasmine, and spread a lot of mulch.
