Thinking Spring?

Spring 2010

I know I am!  This is the time of year where, in my part of the world, many mid-westerners flock to Florida to soak up some much needed vitamin D (and sunshine).  I will be passing up the sand and surf and settling for my favorite Buffett tunes, memories of the coast, and the warm breezes that blow there.  

Today, I am dreaming of cherry blossoms, peonies, tulips, and the electric green grass that carpets my yard.  So, in my need for green therapy, I came across photos reminding me of what spring looks like.  This past fall I planted 40 new tulip bulbs (Purple Prince, Pretty in Pink, and Tropical Punch) in the front of the house along with hyacinths and grape hyacinths.   I am looking forward to them blooming and hoping that the squirrels won't have made a snack out of them this winter.

Plans for the planting season?  I am dreaming of smoke trees, tomatoes, and sweet peas... Oh myyyyyyyy!
