It's snowing here this morning... and I want spring.It's March 16 and I'm ready.
I want crocuses, daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths, even if I have to look at them in someone else's yard.
I want to see a robin hopping by. I want to see the lilac bush come back to life along the fence in our side yard.
I want to browse in garden shops and buy fragrant plants that promise to burst into beautiful colors.
I want to plan how I will design this year's small flower garden in our front yard.
And I want to plant a rose bush in our backyard and learn to care for it so that it blooms and thrives.
I've always loved this painting, Renoir's "Girl with A Watering Can," which he painted in 1876. And I wanted to share it. This sweet-looking jeune fille seems happy to be in the garden on a spring day.
Anyone else ready for spring?
