What a beautiful spring day! After days and days of clouds and rain the sun has broken through and warmed us all up again. People just seemed happier.
The garden is starting to show signs of life. The spring bulbs are poking their heads up. The primrose are starting to bloom in the same garden as the dwarf iris and snow drops. Tulip and daffodils are up about 6 inches high now. I pulled the window boxes out of the ground with the alpine strawberry plants in them so they can get a washing by the next batch of rain. New growth is coming up on these plants as well.
The best thing I did today was to not only walk out into the garden, but sit in the garden. I took up my spot in the corner of my dormant vegetable patch on my sitting rock. I listened to and watched the birds and small mammals do their springtime dance. I soaked up the sun and closed my eyes and did nothing. Sometimes the best part of gardening is taking the time to be there...and just be there.
