Spring Fever

Winter gets so monotonous, dark, boring.  Especially this year.  We’ve had so many snows, I lost track – all I know is that my driveway kept getting narrower and narrower.  It would snow in the morning and then at night.  I’d keep pushing and grunting – sweating it out until there’s enough room to get out of the car.  Toward the end of February I just didn’t care anymore, so I drove over it until there was a huge lump at the end of my driveway.  Thank God all that’s gone now and I can finally relieve this itch I’ve had for sunlight and all things Green.  I love first plantings of the year – but of course I’m not much of a farmer – so half my crop becomes either forgotten about and dehydrated or spindly and sickly because i don’t put them outside soon enough.  I’m hoping for better this year.
