Yes, I know I am exactly 2 weeks late!! And NO, my flu has not subsided yet...but I have decided that I will now officially celebrate Spring!! I trust my enthusiasm will ward off the looming cold front, but with 2 days in the 35 degrees, consecutively...I can only remain the eternal optimist!! And how better to celebrate the approaching warmth by planning my Summer Garden!! I had so much fun shopping for my plants at the nursery yesterday. I bought Yellow Clivias, French Moss and the most beautiful Azaleas in all the vibrant colours. Somehow I think these little plants felt nostalgic this cold winter, longing to be back home in their snow covered lands of origin. Thoroughly rewarding us with a gigantic explosion of colour! I guess they too are pleased that winter is now FINALLY over!! "Mmmm, said the eternal optimist!"
