Spring In Evidence


Day 141: I believe! I'll trust a plant over a weather forecast any day, and my daffodils are telling me Spring is just around the corner. They sprout first under the protection of the contorted filbert and later in the more exposed flower beds, but both locations are showing the evidence of Mother Nature's gentling mood. The croci have not yet emerged, but the grasslike threads of grape hyacinth leaves are pushing through the ground as well. Even with yesterday's snow, the new green in the garden was obvious. Soon winter will be a memory, erased by bright yellow trumpets and the golden eyes of narcissi. Hurray! Spring is on the way!
