Ah, Spring! Persephone is released from Hades, and Demeter celebrates the return of her daughter. The earth throws off her winter blanket and explodes with a symphony of colors.
The wisteria's purple petals drape over the fence, the azalas welcome me in my driveway, and the dogwoods, both white and pink remind me that Easter is near.
I grow impatient, wanting to rush to the stores and buy more plants for my flower beds. Wanting to get my hands earth dirty. But April is sneaky, and can sometimes surprise us with a freeze. I need to wait a little longer...
Pollen - it gives that statement Spring is in the air a whole new tangible meaning.
I get to look forward to something else with the coming of spring - the leaving of the peahens!The peacocks are strutting, and it won't be long before the hens go off to build their nests and, hopefully, raise their broods. But best of all, they won't be pooping on my patio!
I LOVE SPRING!!
