Snow on the ground here. A few brave green tips of bulbs are coming up near the south side warm foundation, but mainly it is still cold and snowy! I have a new connection to the phrase "planting a garden". My colleagues and I refer to making cold calls for sales as "planting seeds". Now, going out to meet strangers in their businesses, not knowing if I'll get rejection, is "planting the garden". That image helps to motivate! When the ground is receptive, I can plant a seed that grows both their business and mine.
