"Stoop and hear it. Stop! and feel it. Spring I say!" I love this song from the Secret Garden. I was listening to it today and feeling all the excitement of spring approaching. I love the cheery daffodils and the trees bursting into bloom.
And I especially love starting a garden. I was at Lowe's this morning getting bags of compost, manure and soil amendments, when I noticed a little old man, smaller than me in height and weight. He wore a brimmed hat and big glasses, and he was hoisting a bag of compost almost as big as him onto his cart. He turned and noticed me with my bags, and with a twinkle in his eye said, "It's time for a little diggin'." That's right! You can't beat the smell of dirt waiting to be turned and filled with seeds. There's something about getting your hands in the earth that is just so therapeutic. Spring is here, and it's time for a little diggin'!

Those pictures are adorable! I love that song, and I agree, it is time for diggin! My roses are coming back to life and I can't wait for the first blooms!
I am so jealous! Those pictures seriously brought tears to my eyes (I must be pregnant)...it's been snowing the last three days...I guess I'm doomed to a little more "CABIN FEVER AHHHH" (name the movie) before all this blasted snow melts off and I too can do some diggin. I just keep singing the song from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers that says, "March comes in like a lion what else, still the snow never melts, April showers will come so they say..." and I just pray they do before MAY!!!
Enjoy some of that spring weather for me and Jewels!
Love ya~ Jen
I love your new house. Spring is my favorite time of the year. Not too hot. There is just something about 115 degree summers that kill me. :) Maybe someday we will make it that way to visit. We definitely need to get out more. Talk to ya later.
Sharee! The first picture of Daphne is wonderful. You are turning into quite the photographer!
