Spring has Sprung
“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.”
Gerard De Nerval
Many of you are aware I live on beautiful Vancouver Island in Canada. Winter here means a little cool weather, rain and the possibility of a few flakes of snow. But, our foliage dies off and flowers die.
While on my way to our local dog park today it was very apparent that Spring is in the air! The trees have been breaking out buds and fuzzy pussy willows are everywhere.
As I was walking past the neighbours today I was pleased to see the bulbs poking through, some are even in flower already. In some of the sheltered areas the flowers are in bloom.
Our grass is green pretty much all year round, but at this time of year it looks more lush and vibrant. The birds are happily tweeting tunes and flying in groups around the park from tree to tree.
Today is Groundhog Day and those participating groundhogs have had a variety of opinions based on their locations. From my location, I would suggest Spring has Sprung!
