Spring Comes Slowly


Finally! After many false starts, this weekend the weather turned enough to feel as if I could uncover my wintered troughs, pull them from the soil in which they had been safely heeled in for the winter, and begin to watch them do their magic. I bid them goodnight for the long winter's sleep last November. They been sleeping for six long months.

It felt a little like Christmas to pull them from their sleep and see how they did all winter. They look good, albeit a little undone. Now the strengthening sunshine will do its work and I can't wait to see those (now) hidden roots pop through with a new season's bloom.
