When Spring has sprung, the hurts of man; earth; animals; birds and fishes are almost forgotten and begins to heal as old Mother Nature brings forth new life and a new set of circumstances. More experiences for the wary and unwary alike. Sort of a lottery game in reality. You work with what you are given and make the best of it. Win, lose and draw---it's all a chance, isn't it? The farmer plants a crop of beautiful flowers; if too much rain, he loses his nasturtiums and seed money to boot. A lottery player bets heavily on the wrong picks and loses his Asters too! What's wrong with this picture?? Both are gamblers, yes, soooooo...? A farmer will bet his seed money against a possible bumper crop---A lottery gambler will bet money too; plus the farmers seed money and his farm if he is quick enough. The difference is a long term plan by the farmer vs. the get rich now  scheme without a contengency play or backup or alternative plan in case that something may go wrong and it usually does in lottery. Experience and patience is what bails a lottery gambler, same for the farmer. Get stuck in a rut and wether you are a farmer or a lottery gambler, what you will win is the rut---dirt and all. We must be flexible in our planning and consider other alternatives before the roll of the dice hits the table. Once they are airborn you and I are stuck with the results. There is only one being that can determine any gambling or farming outcome...Mother Nature...gamble as you will or plant what you want but should you make the mistake of many a gambling man; she'll jerk your numbered balls and throw them in the trash along with your financial dreams and...your lottery tickets!
