I took this picture in 2008   5 Years ago    What a lot of bare soil   It is very gravelly right here  and 5 meters away it is nice sandy loam without rocks.   I now appreciate this environment.   Standing and looking at this could make you crazy or nervous:   "so much work, it will never be nice"   We could say the same when we look at all the snow we have now.     Either it is all about waiting or it is all about knowing that it will be okay
