Is It Spring Yet?




crisp afternoon sunshine
familiar aroma of manure
tender green spikes of incognito bulbs peek above nature's drifts of rotting brown/black leaves

white snowdrops, the bravest blooms, step shyly forward in colder, less sheltered soils.
bright orange calendula against warming bricks, throw down their colourful challenge.


“Spring is sooner recognized by plant than by men,”
~ Chinese Proverb
