Waiting for Spring

spring2

With a beautiful day like today, so reminiscent of Spring, it beckons to my Gardener's heart.  Early Spring, though, has a beguiling nature, offering promises that may not be fulfilled, should one respond to it's call too early.  With that said and my many years of personal experience, my Landscaper's mind cautions me to not rush in.   Winter owns this day, and at least another twenty more.

A Quote by Henry Van Dyke:

"The first day of Spring is one thing, and the first Spring day is another.  The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month."

How true!  The official first day of spring is March 20, 2014, but I suspect that we won't have to wait that long.....
