A Touch of Spring

At this time of year, I always begin to get anxious for the arrival of spring. The flowers in the grocery stores beckon to me to please take them home. I start to realize that it seems a long time since I had fresh flowers in the house. Because I grow so many of my own flowers in the summer, it is always difficult for me to justify buying flowers. But the other day, I could resist the urge no longer. I decided we needed some brightness in the house that flowers tend to bring. So without hesitation, I stopped by the flowers at Costco, chose the ones that I wanted, and immediately put them in my cart. I'm so glad that I did. Just looking their direction warms my heart. I just might do the same thing next week.

I'm the same way! I tried to buy flowers last time I was at the grocery store, but there weren't any on clearance. I hoping next time I'm there . . .

Your tulips are beautiful! So cheery!

Thank you! I needed to see a little spring instead of old dirty snow!
