In Vermont it doesn’t much look like spring unless you count the smoke curling out of the sugarhouses and the mud beginning to appear on the roads.

Not much green around. However I’ve been in Connecticut for the last few weeks helping my daughter with her new baby boy! I am so lucky to be able to spend a few weeks helping out. She has a 22 month old daughter as well so it is a busy household.

While here in CT I’ve had the chance to visit family. My mother has the most incredible orchid growing in here house.

We also checked the garden plots outside her home and saw some signs of spring.
It definitely looks more like spring here in Connecticut. On our walks I can see signs of early spring bulbs pushing their way through the winter soil. At the local nature park the forsythia is almost ready to bloom. There have been a few snow flurries but for the most part the ground is snow free.
I will be heading home this week back to Vermont where it will be many more weeks before I will be working in my garden.

Seeing the early signs of spring in CT gives me hope that spring is on it’s way!
