Oh, it’s nearly spring. Ostara (the Vernal Equinox) is coming up and I’ve got spring fever. I never get ‘summer fever’ but oh, around this time I’m ready for cool days with a little bit of sun, and flowers and fresh breezes and I’m really ready to air out the house. Our days are still in the 50s, and nights in the upper thirties-low forties, but I can sense spring in the air.
So my lawn care person got a surprise this week. Last week I was suddenly in a flower frenzy and I found myself on the Home Depot site and I suddenly (totally unaware, yep, that’s me, I don’t take responsibility for what my mouse decided to do) had flowers and flower bulbs and potting soil in my cart. It was a lions and tigers and bears oh my moment, except in my case it was a daffodils and irises and hyacinths and gladiolus and pansies and hydrangeas moment, and all in a new lilac tree…
Yeah, so I mixed my references but you get the picture. And hopefully, this year, you’ll have LOTS of pictures when everything comes up. I kind of went crazy, though not as crazy as I could have, and so Kim has lots of things to plant now.
And while I wish I could be outside planting flowers myself, I can’t. But I can enjoy them when they come up. And…I definitely will.
As for spring, remember: it’s a time of new beginnings and time for starting new projects, and I have a new secret project I’m planning to start, one I’m very excited about (though trust me, it won’t interfere with what I’m currently writing and what I’ve planned for the rest of the year).
Do you get spring fever? What are signs of springs for you?
