Is Spring around the Corner?

I don't know, I really don't. I saw a friend change her facebook cover image to "Spring - download failed. Spring not available in your Country." I think she has a point. Especially with the forecast for the weather later today and this coming weekend. Urgh. (Rain, Hail, Ice Storms they are calling for. Late afternoon traffic mayhem. Expect power failures.)

So, you can stare disconsolately out the window and riffle through your stacks of gardening catalogues, or you can be pro-active. Pour yourself a margarita, position a large lamp over your creative spot (to simulate warmth and bright sunlight) and come wander through our gardens of glass!

First to appear, of course, are leaves. We have some wild and fiery Mango Blood Orange leaves, which, you know - now that I think about it - are probably left over from the fall!

Ah - see - now this is a fresh, poking out of the ground, "is it spring yet?" colour! A real Chartreuse Poison Green colour that screams "Spring!"



And these are the leaves that you find under that pot that blew into the corner back in November. They've had no light - but the extra shelter has given them a head-start! You know that soon enough - they will start to green up!

And then, before you know it - it will be spring flowers! The Crab Apples will burst out in their pink glory, little blue or even turquoise flowers will poke out their heads, and we'll be well on our way to spring! Finally!

Then, after a day of contemplating the flowers, it will be nice to just sit back and watch the Amber Sunset, with a nice glass of Root Beer, by the Mossy Stream.
