Spring Has Sprung

April 02, 2010

After what has been a super cold winter for us, things are growing, blooming and flooding the air with pollen. The allergic in the family (including the dog) are sneezing and itching and blowing…but it’s SPRING! There is evidence all around...

One teeny basil seedling--grow, baby!

So excuse me while I go enjoy the warm sun and soft breezes of April.  Here's wishing you a warm and wonderful weekend.

  1. Oh, Kathy, your dogwoods are blooming! For me that is the perfect accompaniment to Easter. F.'s mother, who is Romanian Orthodox, sent us dried basil that had been steeped in holy water for a month, given as a blessing this time of year. I much prefer your beautiful seedling, with its promise of life. :)

  3. Meredith: Let's hope I can nurse that seedling into a viable plant--I always start with high hopes! What a nice and unique gift from your mother-in-law.
