Spring is coming

Yesterday we could all smell it in the air. The end of winter. The sun was glorious, the sky blue. You could go outside with a tee shirt, comfortably. For a while. And in the last few days the snow has been melting like crazy. The birds were chirping happily and if you looked closely at the newly bare spots in the garden, perennials were sporting new basal growth. Oh, we knew that there will be more snowy wintry days, that right now we're just being given an intoxicating taste that will be snatched away as soon as we begin expecting it, relishing it, pining for it. But oh, we all enjoyed it so! And sure enough, today it's gray, snowy, and expected to continue on so for much of this week. But it's too late for us garden lovers - we know our time, our season, is just around the corner. Eeek - time to get started on all those long-postponed projects!
