Last weekend I visited my aunt and uncle. Their 30-plus acres tucked into the foothills of Appalachia has been my place of refuge for more than 20 years. It's where my husband proposed to me, and it's where we return to again and again with our son. Last weekend, we enjoyed the birds and played in the garden, weeding, mulching and identifying the green sprouts emerging for the season. Two early bachelor's buttons had already bloomed after reseeding from last summer.

We live in uncertain times. It’s a phrase we keep hearing, whether we’re talking about climate change or politics. But aren’t all times uncertain? We could time-travel to declare uncertainty during the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and the COVID-19 pandemic.
