Why Are You Tormenting Me?

The weather is close to 70 today,

the sun shining,

the aroma in the air is the earth

waking up.

Tulips, daffodils and hyacinths are

coming alive!

There are small green things starting

to appear.

Fresh, green and soft.

My plants are coming alive, already!

They've been

hiding under the dead leaves all

winter and

they're playing peek-a-boo.

I like that game

with my flowers. Its so exciting

to see

them, peeking from under the

dead fall leaves.

I was able to do some yard cleaning

Monday.

I tried to be careful, not to do too

much.

But that sunshining on me was like

an addict getting

his fix. That's the only way I could

describe it.

If I had to run into the house, I

literally ran in

and out, because I needed more

of that warm

sun.

I planted some spring bulbs,

YES!

Spring Bulbs.

I read in a gardening magazine

that you can

do that and still get those

pretty spring flowers

I just hope I

did it at the right time, if not

then they'll

be there next year.

Now I'm anxious to get my veggie

garden going.

Anxious to do this very thing:

Watching my hubby fighting with the

tiller,

getting the veggie garden ready.

Me planting

the small veggies with moms help

when she can

come down from NYC. She loves

to garden

but can't when you live in the

concrete jungle.

So she'll come down and get

dirty.

Then sitting back and watching

things grow.

I look forward to sitting on

my back porch

with coffee in the morning

when its

still cool, then tea or lemonade

in the afternoon

after working in the garden.

Do you long to

do the same thing?

Are you being tormented by

this gorgeous

weather?

Its hard not to get out there

and start

planting!

But take it from me,

don't do it!

Wait until the

right time, otherwise you'll

lose

everything.

I won't do that again!!
