The chill is letting go, and it is not risky to leave the jacket at home.
The window units went in last night, and the deck furniture has come out of the attic.
The mornings are lighter and the days are longer.
It is so tempting to leave everything undone in the house, as the yard is calling.
I love this time of transition. The memory of the cold is still fresh, and it is so easy to appreciate the changes. The green in the trees is that bright, new green, and the leaves fill in all the spaces around the yard, making it our lovely private sanctuary.
Tonight there will be grilled chicken and we may even eat out on the deck.
Tomorrow there will be rain, but even that is welcome, because it brings the growing things out and it isn't freezing now.
The seed in the lawn needs the rain.
It is amazing how the grass that looked so sad and pathetic two weeks ago is growing and filling in!
In early spring it always seems defeated, and then the warmer weather brings it out and it seems like it needs to be mowed twice a week!
What flowers will I plant? What to put in the "vegetable" bed?
The rhubarb is growing like crazy, and some of the herbs made it through the winter.
Certainly there will be some Basil, and the marigolds will have to be there keeping the deer at bay.
Maybe a tomato plant, and possibly some chives.
It is so exciting!
For now it is just making plans, maybe Friday I will buy some plants and get them in.
The possibilities make it hard to commit!
