Cabin fever no more...

Yes, spring is well and truly here.  The hummingbirds are back zipping about the feeder from early morning until sundown and yesterday I drained the washtub fountain, refilled it and hooked up the pump.  The sound is music to my ears.

Mark Twain wrote, "It's spring fever.  That's what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you don't know what you want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so."

I know what I want.  When all of the spring gardening work is done and everything is in its proper place and growing, then I want to bask in the sheer delight of warm sunshine on my face.  Just like this...

I know what you mean, the sound of the water running once again give me hope that spring was here and Fred even cut the grass for the first time yesterday afternoon but then we got an April Fool's from Mother Nature....SNOW

The best feeling in the world is when you can open the windows and let the air and sunshine in!

Now you know as well as I, that a gardener never has a moment to sit back and soak it all in. I try that and see something that needs to be done and I'm up and at it.
Happy Spring GreenWellies!
