GREEN!!! Back in October my mother and I spent some time planting bulbs in my front flower beds. And by my mother and I, I mean, my mother. This was during the time that I had my tonsils removed, so I was in recovery. I had a very important job though...I pointed where the flowers should go...yeah...important. But I digress. So all through the winter, I was worried they wouldn't come up, and the beds looked all tucked and cozy but well...brown.
See Exhibit A. You really can't tell much is going on there. But if you look really reeeeally close...
...you can spy some green.
And maybe even a few buds coming up...
And then this is the point where I go, "hmmm I can't remember what type of flowers I planted...hmmm."
But the more I look, the more I see! They're everywhere. This winter has been a long one and I am so ready for spring to say hello.
In our other bed there is even a tinsy tiny bit of color. Just a wee bit.
Just enough to remind me that spring will be here soon. I don't have long to wait.
