Everyone slept in this morning… Everyone but me š I went out and walked around the gardens. I say it often, but itās so true – Spring is coming! Bulbs and perennials are emerging and even blooming. Forsythias are blooming. My saucer Magnolia is fixing to burst open too. The maple šĀ buds are swelling, the quince too. Itās a magical, time of the year to be a gardener. But, itās not quite here yet… The waiting and anticipation of full on Spring is powerful! Can you say āSpring FeverāĀ š¤Ā Iām going back inside & cooking breakfast š„Ā Thatāll have to do.
“Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle … a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. Ā And the anticipation nurtures our dream.”
–Ā Ā Barbara Winkler
These particular daffodils were planted by my grandma and always bring happy thoughts to me. They say āSpring is almost hereā…
Have a Great Sunday! Spring is Coming!

What a beautiful morning! Sunny āļøĀ with a bluebird sky. Itās Groundhog Day & I saw my shadow… You know what that means, yep, I need to loose a few pounds š®
If ground-hog day was bright and fair,
The beast came forth, but not to stay;
His shadow turned him to his lair,
Where six weeks more, he dormant lay
Secure in subterranean holdā
So wondrous weatherwise was heā
Against six weeks of ice and cold,
Which, very certain, there would be…
~H.L. Fisher, “Popular Superstitions,”
I may have seen my shadow, but old Punxsutawney Phil did not! What does that mean? Well, if you trust the worlds most famous rodent prognosticator, it means Spring is coming early!!! Boom š„Ā What have I been saying – Spring IS Coming! šš¾š
Ok, back in the real šĀ I have a game to prepare for! My team didnāt make it this year Ā (ā¤ļø Titans) so Iām rooting for the Chiefs… The hard parts gonna be finding Super Bowl snacks that help slim my shadow š
Groundhog Day made me think about MY shadow… I guess itās CruditĆ© for Super Bowl snacks š
Have a great day! Go Chiefs! And hereās to an early Spring!

What a beautiful morning! This picture says it all – a Beautiful sunrise under a bank of invading clouds. The rain is coming, but not before the Sunrise.Ā No longer than I got my picture, the rain got here. Feels like Spring š
The cloud bank was almost all the way in, but the Sunrise beat it! So beautiful. Behind me, the rain was coming.
Enjoy your day ā¤ļø
