Something's Comin', Something Good!

The winter is still haunting us here, but I'm feeling a change of seasons pushing against us here in Michigan each day now so I'm not too worried. Hey even the last snow storm was more water than snow! I feel like Spring is really breathing down winter's neck and since Even the ground has the softness that means the time for digging in the earth and creating my flowery beauty is coming.


I actually walked around the garden today and through the snow piles and stalks of last year’s flowers and in my imagination I saw images of the layers of flowers in the garden taking shape. I have huge lists of new flowers and plants that I hope to plant in all the areas of my little triangle garden. I am going to give a real piece of beauty here on our little plot on five lanes of fast.


I’m getting ready to start gardening see that winter season turn to spring time. I’ve had an amaryllis bulb that has pushed itself to the max this year and with intensely green leaves. They haven’t had too many flowers, but they’ve given me a touch of the outdoors in the depths of winter this year. They’ve been wonderful, but I am ready for those daffodils to bloom and everything to turn green around the yard. Is anyone else ready for springtime?

  1. I'm ready for Spring! The driveway finally thawed out enough to shovel away ice. What a mess! I think I saw some sign of life, too, underneath the snow. Could it be my crocuses are coming up?

  2. I think we all are ready for a season change, but especially for you on the East coast I bet! (I actually have daffodil leaves two inches up by my backdoor!)

  3. Hi Ciss. A colleague of mine brought back crocus bulb from Michigan, and as I type its growing in a pot between our office doors. We're still unsure of the color its flower will be.

  6. Hi Ciss, I'm from Michigan, born in Marshall and raised outside of Lansing (Go Spartans!). I miss the seasonal changes. But I don't miss the biting cold where it doesn't matter how many layers of clothes you're wearing.

  7. Stephen,
    I love the cold! It really is a part of the magic for me, though I must admit I am usually ready for spring by the end of February.

  8. Hope you get tons of happiness and freshness in your life with the arrival of Spring - the season of freshness and colors :) Looking forward to your garden photographs. We get hardly a week or two of Spring in Karachi and Summer is already here.
