One winter we had a greens patch. Insects had started to eat the leaves, so I knew the end was near. Then it snowed.
I told Daddy I figured that was the end of the crop. He disagreed and promised I was about to see the prettiest crop ever.
Over three days the snow slowly melted, watering the plants and freezing the insects. Sunlight continued to reach the plants. Sho’ ’nuf, it was full of beautiful green leaves when the snow was gone.

Life is good.
