The garden awakens





One of the best seasons in Alabama is springtime.   While many places in the USA are still struggling with snow, ice, and cold temperatures, February in Alabama is when the daffodils and forsythia bloom and the buds on the trees begin to swell in anticipation of summer.

I enjoy the daffodils and forsythia and eagerly await the first crocus blooms near my front steps, but there is also a sense of great excitement in the air as the spring growth begins to emerge from its winter sleep.  I can almost feel the ground quiver as my garden awakens to spring.

As I strolled through my backyard, I found flowers and tender green shoots rising to meet the spring sunshine.  Enjoy the bright daffodils, but also take the time to look for the quieter signs that the garden is waking.
