I enjoy the juxtaposition of the vagaries of the climate and the steady rhythms of life here. Folks have been tending to the chores of spring for generations, knowing full well that they really can't depend upon the hand that nature will deal them. Planting a garden in Vermont amounts to an act of faith. Will our sweat and toil be rewarded by abundance enough to share with our friends and extended families, or will a killing frost render these efforts exercises in futility.
我喜歡這里變幻莫測的氣候和穩定的生活節奏并存的感覺。幾代人以來，人們一直在做著春天該做的事，他們很清楚地知道，真的不能依靠大自然的手來處理這些事情。在佛蒙特州種植花園是一種飽含信仰的行為。我們的汗水和辛勞會得到可以與朋友和家人分享的豐厚回報嗎？還是一場無情的霜凍會使這些努力付之東流？
And I have planted more than a garden this year. My family was recently faced with a tough decision, do we leave this place and the people whom we have come to know and love, or do we stay and make a commitment. Well, we have decided that this is where we will make our stand. Along with our little garden, this year we have planted ourselves. And this is no less an act of faith than the one mentioned above. Will my family be blessed with that which is needed to grow and flourish. We have no way of knowing this...but we do have faith. The rain has stopped and the sun is shining. Strong winds have blown the cloud cover away. It is a beautiful day.
今年我種了不止一個花園。我的家人最近面臨著一個艱難的決定，我們是離開這個地方，離開我們所認識和喜愛的人，還是留下來做出承諾。好吧，我們已經決定在這里表明我們的立場。和我們的小花園一樣，今年我們也是自己種植的。這和上面提到的一樣，都是一種信仰的行為。我的家庭將有幸得到成長和繁榮所需要的東西嗎？我們沒有辦法知道這個……但我們有信心。雨停了，太陽出來了。大風把云層吹走了。今天天氣很好。
