Promise of Spring

The other day we had one glorious day. The sun came out and I revelled in its warmth. Its been a long cold winter. The day had the promise of spring in the air. I headed out to the garden and started pulling up weeds. Sour sobs everywhere. They were easy to pull up as the ground was still soft from all the rain. I even planted a new ground cover my sister had given me. I didn't get all the garden done on that day but I have been out in between the showers since. The peach tree has some little buds on it. Won't be long before it flowers. Hopefully I get a good crop of peaches this year. I have a hankering for some home made peach jam. Not much going on in the studio lately. After the long winter hibernation I need to catch up on some chores. Won't be long though. I have some ideas brewing.

How I remember the excitment of waiting for spring..after a long cold snowy dull winter...
I am happy for you
But that means it's coming our way

We're waiting for more good things! Glad you've got some blossoms ready to open! My peaches are about plum size. But we got several inches of rain the last two days!

Suz, We don't have snow where I live so I shouldn't really complain about the cold should I???:)

Doris, I didn't realise peach trees could stand the snow you have in winter. I suppose they are dormant and don't notice they are being frozen to an inch of their life hehehe.
