Spring

"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn."
                                                                              Hal Borland


Spring is here!  

We are actually enjoying beautiful spring like weather today.
The sky is blue.
The temperature is a breezy 57.


A few of the perennials
(along with the weeds)
 are beginning
to wake from their winter's nap.


Ferns unfurl in the sunlight.


Camillas continue to share their beauty.

Yes, there is much to be done
 beyond the garden gate.
Soil to be loosened.
Mulch to be spread.

 It may still need to wait.
Tomorrow the temperatures drop
and a cold rain is promised.

That's tomorrow,
Today I will turn my face to the light
and enjoy the now.

Happy First Day of Spring!

  1. Ah, Bonnie, spring means as much to you now and here as autumn means to me, here and now. Such relief! Such relief from the seemingly unending harshness.
