Spring Has Sprung!

I will snip these blossoms, press them, and replenish my inventory of my give-away bookmarks – once my work deadline has passed, that is. And then these little darlings will give me even more beautiful blossoms; it’s their goal in life to make me happy. You too.

So if you don’t have a few violas or pansies planted already, you can be sure they will show up in the nursery very soon; they are, after all, cool-weather plants. So pick up a few, and plant them as soon as you can – as soon as the ground is no longer frozen, for your northern folks. You will get to enjoy them this spring, and again this fall, and then, if all goes well, again next spring. Such is the power of overwintering.
