Spring

My mother was gifted with a green thumb. She loved yard work and our home was often the showcase of the neighborhood. A variety of flowers bloomed in our yard. I failed to inherit her talent to make things grow but I do love my yard with its abundance of flower beds. My garden produces a wide variety of vegetables and fruits which I’m proud to share with family and friends. As springtime rolls around, I’m already planning what I hope to plant. Spring is filled with hope for me. The promise of warmer weather, sunshine and lazy afternoons sipping iced tea. If I close my eyes I can hear birds chirping and the buzz of bees. The best part of the year is nearly upon us. Enjoy.
