Spring

[dancerjodi]

Its feeling almost like spring today. Its cool out but not as cold as its been. My pregnant and uncomfortably warm co-worker opened a nearby window and the breeze feels nice for the first time in a while. The sun has moved out from behind a cloud for the moment.

Spring makes me think of driving with the windows down, feeding the ducks, talks on the front porch, working on finals while sitting in a coffee shop with my love, and getting excited about summer (walking in the sand, swimming, hiking, faire, cook-outs, drive-ins, watermelon, the hammock).

What does spring mean to you?

I'm going to plant things in the ground this year. In year's past I've been busy writing a thesis, or busy shopping for a new house, or not wanting to invest the time and money into a place we'd be leaving in a year or so. This year, I'm literally laying down roots. In addition to trip planning I'll want to keep this in my mind over the next month so that when the frost is gone I'll be ready!

I saw these guys and others coming up yesterday and I wanted to squeal. Spring is all about the euphoria of things coming alive again for me. I get so excited when the leaves return to the trees!

Earlier in the week I ordered a ton of seed, both for the vegetable garden and flowers. I'll be starting some indoors and direct sowing the rest. Can't wait! Also, on Monday I repotted some houseplants: clearly I have a fixation on spring. :)

I saw them too, at the MFA! I think they might be daffodils, but I'm just happy to see green growing things.

Plan on planting some more irises and morning glories, myself.

I'm pretty sure these are snowdrops, although even though I'm the one who planted them I'm not sure: I ordered five types of bulbs to bloom throughout the spring and instead of keeping track of what I planted where, I tossed them in the air and planted each bulb where it landed. :)

I ordered a billion types of flower seed this year. There's some red morning glory in there, can't wait to see what they end up looking like. :)

spring means being warm and having a much better temperment and a chance to recover from lack of sunlight.... :)

So happy about it being almost spring. I want the green things to grown again, and I've been waiting with seeds to grow more flowers in my own tiny space. I love how different the air feels, especially after a difficult winter. I like how my mood automatically lifts, how it feels ok to be outside again, and just happy to be alive.

Spring to me means seeing the results of all my mad Fall BULB planting!
Crocuses, squills, puschkinias, winter aconite, bulbocodium vernum, chionodoxas, HYACINTHS, irises, daffodils, muscarii, tulips, fritillaries, camassias, alliums...You name it, I've planted it.
