"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." - Unknown

Spring is Finally Here (SOTC 96/365)

We have waited forEVer for Spring this year. Days fluctuating between sun and snow. It has made for very sporadic attempts to get my hands in the dirt and work the garden. I put out the hammock stand last week, and then never got to put out the hammock. I frantically sowed the vegetables on a warm day, and finally got the flowers in the ground this afternoon.

But I have been watching the perennials carefully. The tulips poked their way through the ground at the end of March, right on time. They started to bud last week, right on time. And while several are a bit stunted in their height this year, over the last day or two, they have also started to bloom… right on time.

I sure do love spring at my house.
