Even though it will snow again soon, I’m grateful for the arrival of early spring. Today it climbed over sixty degrees in the sun, and two little irises opened. I worked in the south border for an hour and planted some tulips I didn’t get in the ground before it froze. Maybe they’ll bloom this year, maybe not; but at least they’ll take root, and I planted them in a cage so they’ll survive the does. I’m grateful for the promise of spring.
