I've been squelching my inner garden maniac for several months now. The seed catalogs came in the mail and I gave them a cursory, dismissive glance and tossed them in the bookcase. The snow melted, revealing lonesome little flower beds and garden boxes and I breezily passed them on my way to the slide with the kids. My garden gloves sat neatly washed and folded in the porch, awaiting the first thrashing of the season, and I glanced at them and sniffed.
Then, for some reason, this morning, the Garden Fairy flew my way and sprinkled me with Miracle Gro dust......shazzam!!! I smell the humus in the spring breeze!!! So, out came the seed catalogs and the orders were placed; post them tomorrow! The wheelbarrow has been dusted off, and oiled, ready to clean up the poor dead little plants from last fall. The garden gloves, I imagine, are fairly quivering with excitement at touching the soil again, when the kids go down for their nap.
Spring is HERE, NOW!!! Let's plant something!
