Begin Again

Time to Begin Again!
Spring is a time of renewal, of life presenting itself anew in the flowers coming out of the ground and the buds beginning on the trees. One thing that is great about spring is the way that it makes you feel, especially if you live in an area where the winter was especially brutal.
There are places on the east coast that are still getting tons of snow! The midwest is very cold right now as well. I'm sure that the populace will more than welcome spring once it decides to arrive!
I've been watching my bulbs in my brand new garden come in. The crocus' have come up, but don't seem as vibrant and large as I remember. They might become a casualty after their blooming is done.
The hyacinths are coming up now and I can't wait until I can smell their fragrant blooms! My Stargazers tried to come up during the winter and they may not have survived the snow and freezing winter weather. I am thinking that I should buy some more and plant them, since they are in the stores right now.
I say welcome to spring! Here in the Pacific Northwest, it has been a gray winter with very little sunshine. Come on sun and warmer weather. Looking forward to feeling your warmth on my face.
