Spring is Coming!

It is. Truly! O, I am not trying to rush the seasons, but, as every good gardener knows, Spring creeps up faster than you realize! So NOW would be the time to plan for your upcoming garden.

Perhaps you are ahead of the game, and have already sharpened your tools of war - shovels, hoes, spades..... But! What to plant, what to plant. If lucky, colorfully glossy gems of catalogs have already started trickling their way into your mail. WONDERFUL! Take a moment, over a cup of tea (and some buttered seed cakes, of course) to open your gardening journal........ and DREAM! Fill your snowy-day thoughts with a child-like joy of colors, and smells, and tastes, AND, above all, POSSIBILITIES. Possibilities of things you can add to this year's upcoming garden. O, the total magic of it all!

Take time. TAKE TIME! And loose the kaleidoscope of sylvan splendor. Ponder butterfly, bud, and fae. Go. GO! Are you still here?
