When I think of Spring it brings to mind so many images! My garden, the trees in bloom, flowers, and of course the birds singing! This is where my daily choir lives! In their little home! They greet each morning with a lovely tune! I love to go out in the morning and listen to them, they flitter around and play in the sky! I had two of these houses, one was over on the other side of the yard, but we had a terrible wind storm a few months ago and it came crashing down. I was so sad. I will have to look for one to replace it! I'm hot with Spring fever! I'm anxiously awaiting all the things Spring brings. It puts me in a whole new mood. Everything is fresh and new and green and growing! I feel inspired to Spring clean...and not just the dusting and such but the cleaning out! It is getting rid of the junk, cleaning out closets, giving away old toys...It's a fresh start! To me, it's really when the New Year begins! Jan. & Feb. are still cold, dreary..the same...But March brings the beginning of something new! I love it!!
I planted seeds this year. It's my first time to attempt starting plants from seeds that will be transplanted into the garden. Sherman got me a little plastic greenhouse planter that comes with peet moss, a lid and planting instructions. "This will be easy!" I thought. I harvested seeds from our jalapeno plants we had last year, along with tomato seeds and chili peppers. The jalapeno plants took right off, but the tomatoes look a little wilted. Not sure what will actually survive long enough to be transplanted. Guess I will have to wait and see! This is a problem I've always had whenever I've tried to grow something from a seed. It takes off great, looks healthy and then wilts and dies. Don't get it!! I don't have much of a green thumb! I start my squash, zukes, corn, beans, peas, and cukes from seeds planted right into the garden...come planting time. But, tomatoes, okra, peppers and eggplant I've planted as hearty plants I picked up at the store. Well...time will tell if my little sprouts will become grown-ups!
Spring in the country is so alive! There are new babies, sprouts...signs of life everywhere! Spring brings Easter! The reminder of what our Lord Jesus did for us...and Resurrection...bringing new life! It's such a perfect picture! I'm SO ready for Spring!!!!!
