The Earth Begins to Wake from Her Winter Slumber

Good Morning Everyone… The snow is starting to melt in my yard. I do hope that it is the end of it for this winter. As the snow melts, my flowerbeds are being revealed and I am so curious to see what perennials return this year. I only planted a few, so we shall see. Last spring was my first gardening attempt where I live. It was totally motivated by the pandemic and it brought me so much joy from spring through the fall.

I ended the gardening season last fall, planting about 100 bulbs, an assortment of crocus, daffodils and tulips. I dug a new bed for all the bulbs and threw in some lupine and lily seeds as well. Needless to say I can’t wait to see what starts to emerge from the ground as the days grow warmer and longer and the earth begins to wake from her winter slumber.

I feel as though I am the Earth waking from a winter slumber. As the days grow longer I grow stronger. What a year this has been… So much to take in and process. Life has changed. We are adapting. Stay strong dear ones, we will all emerge like the flowers of spring.
