Though a Chapel Hill-ian, I have grown more and more fond of reading your weekly paper, The Carrboro Citizen. In recent weeks, I find myself eagerly awaiting the next installment of Ken Moore’s “Flora†column. His appreciation for the natural world and eloquent expression make his columns a pleasure to read. Most recently I enjoyed a chuckle of recognition when Ken described his “panic†at the “constant assaults of springtime awakenings,†as they prevented him from completing “well-intentioned chores and worthy projects set aside for the winter months.†I thought I was the only one feeling that way each February! I am slowly becoming resigned to the fact that I live in a climate that beckons me outdoors all four seasons of the year, so those winter projects will continue to escape my attention.
Thank you to Ken Moore for reminding me of that fact and letting me know it’s OK.
