The sky opens up vast and clear, while on the ground the sown radishes unfold their tiny first leaves. The bigness of the sky and the smallness of the sprouts make a pairing that feels wonderfully good. A healthy autumn morning in a life with a garden — enough, all by itself, to feel that today will be fine and bright.
