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.
我喜欢这里变幻莫测的气候和稳定的生活节奏并存的感觉。几代人以来，人们一直在做着春天该做的事，他们很清楚地知道，真的不能依靠大自然的手来处理这些事情。在佛蒙特州种植花园是一种饱含信仰的行为。我们的汗水和辛劳会得到可以与朋友和家人分享的丰厚回报吗？还是一场无情的霜冻会使这些努力付之东流？
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.
今年我种了不止一个花园。我的家人最近面临着一个艰难的决定，我们是离开这个地方，离开我们所认识和喜爱的人，还是留下来做出承诺。好吧，我们已经决定在这里表明我们的立场。和我们的小花园一样，今年我们也是自己种植的。这和上面提到的一样，都是一种信仰的行为。我的家庭将有幸得到成长和繁荣所需要的东西吗？我们没有办法知道这个……但我们有信心。雨停了，太阳出来了。大风把云层吹走了。今天天气很好。
