Every spring it always amazes me how quickly life springs forth as the snow melts and some warm days arrive. The snow is still leaving my yard and new life is already emerging cheering me up with the freshness of new green and even the first flower! When I walked around to check my yard on Saturday, the garden beds were mostly still brown. Look what happened when the sun warmed the earth this Easter Sunday!
daffodils grow thru snow
the silver and green of white nancy lamium are revealed as the snow retreats
one day this was a bare brown patch and the next the crocus burst thru the soil!
new chives grew 2 inches in a day and stand next to a bit of mint
look at this amazing green! the pachysandra was buried under the snow just a couple days ago.

Doesn’t it bring a smile to your morning when you discover all these changes in nature that happened literally overnight!?

Indeed! A huge smile and a feeling of awe and gratitude to be able to see them up close.

If you ask any gardener it is the time in spring when life starts to emerge that cheers us most. The behavior is universal, we walk through our garden, or gardens with that same impatience looking for the first signs of green, the first blooms.
