the promise of spring flowers!
First flowers of the season say "yes! earth is awakening from her rest!" Each time my heart leaps at all the miracles which come in this time. Every year.
This year my back garden has sunny daffodil faces rimming the garden edge, with some hellebores nestled in. Bowls of pansies with their sweet faces flank my front porch. I love seeing their happy spirits raised up to the sun!
And my yard has so many wonderful spring plants! Including so-called "weeds" -chickweed, red and white clover, spring onions, wild violets and dandelions. These "weeds" are also edible! (daffodils and hellebores and the other flowers not so much.)
Most of all, spring lifts my spirit, to remind me that all things begin anew, and beauty is so healing. I hope you enjoy the spring - hear the birds call and rejoice, inhale the delicious scent of flowers, and share the strength of trees.
