With the season of spring at hand and winds dropping the
temperatures to a March status, I find myself longing for the warmer days of
summer. Visions of fuchsias and hanging planters bursting with color are
floating through my mind. The lofty winds of the past few days have prevented
me from enjoying the solitude I prefer with nature. A wind-chill factor does
dampen the mood. Instead of ice cubes tinkling in a tall glass of ice tea, I’m
hovering over a steaming cup of hot tea nestled in my hands for warmth, while
sitting in the sunshine. The tea will be cold before I get to the bottom of the
cup!
Memorial Day is still a month away but the garden centers will be
stocking up with their colorful flats of annuals and perennials for our
gardens. I’m looking forward to the winds trailing off a bit. Hopefully we will
have a climactic meeting of the minds soon. The stillness of summer agrees with
me…when you can sit in a garden and hear the hummingbirds fly by.
