Move Over Winter, Hello Spring!

It has been a very long winter for me full of gray days both inside and out. My creative energy took a leave of absence the last month. Historically March is a hard month for me to endure. This one was especially long and as March does it teased me with hopes of spring soon dashed by falling temperatures.

Fortunately we’ve said farewell to another winter! I am welcoming spring and looking to the renewal it brings.

I spent a little time in a flower bed out front this afternoon clearing out winter foliage debris that collects and waits for me to gather it up and give it a new home. It felt awfully good to be on my hands and knees once again with fingers in the dirt.

My crocuses are blooming and their blossoms bring color as well as hope of more color to come. There are green shoots popping up in my flower beds promising renewed growth. Spring is finally here!

I am very very grateful the earth is warming up around me. The birds are happily singing and so am I!

What does spring bring to you?
