The Miracle of Life

i made a very interesting and amazing observation this morning when i was planting some new seeds in my egg cartons, and i just have to share it! so, i label what i've planted with pieces of tape attached to toothpicks. in one carton i filled 2/3 of it with sage and tomatoes, so there was one section that was open for more seeds. being me, i was of course second guessing which side of my markers i had planted the seeds in (i had labeled both sides of the tape, so it really could've been either side...)

i had just watered the seeds, so the whole thing was wet. i started poking around in the section i was pretty sure was open, and of course didn't see any seeds, but i wanted to confirm that there were indeed tomato seeds in the next section over.

i poked my finger in, and the dirt was hot!! a little more poking, and sure enough, there was a tomato seed...not yet sprouted...but life was happening! the little seed seemed to be making its home warm all by itself! the section right next to it that i had been poking in was cold!!

i don't know about you, but i was amazed! just another example shown to me of how perfect the nature of things really are.
