"Nature's first green is gold"...

Happy first day of spring everyone! As you can see, I took matters into my own hands. A few weeks ago I cut some dogwood branches and brought them inside before they were blooming. Just this week the buds opened up in time to welcome spring. I cannot say it enough that I have spring fever. Every year around this time in March, I become so anxious to get outside and into my gardens... I can't stand it when the weather does not allow it- I'm like "Hurry up spring, let's go! Can't you see I have work to do"? I guess Ralph Waldo Emerson summed it up when he said "Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience". I wish I could.
