Up to now, the Garden around us has been hushed, her breath quiet and slow. Blankets of white pulled up to her nose she waits, still asleep, for that first itch of movement when once again Spring calls her name.
When she does finally take her first groggy stretch, we will be ready with our boots, seeds, aprons, and tools to get her ready for her big day.
Because in the blink of an eye or the quick turn of the head, Spring will be here and ready to take our sweet awakened Garden to her big debut.
Then all we'll have to do is watch her grow and thrive into the destined beauty we knew her to be and gather up the roses laid at her feet.
So start unwrapping your warm weather clothes now, for you don't want to be caught unexpectedly when the dear Spring reaches out his friendly hand to you too.
