We all know the saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers.” Well, the last week of April brought a light dusting of snow for us, while this week it is raining. I don’t mind because the world is turning green before our eyes.
Everywhere you look the fields are turning a bright green and the gardens are being tilled and readied for planting.
Our forsythia has been in full bloom and covered with bright yellow goldfinches! We may not have an abundance of flowers yet but the colorful birds are more than making up for it.
My garlic is up and doing well. Looking forward to another good harvest in July. I do hope our house sells, but I would also love to harvest my garlic first. That’s not too much to ask for right?
The rhubarb is also growing. I don’t care if we are moving and trying to empty the pantry… I will have to can a few jars of my wonderful rhubarbecue sauce. It is so good on grilled pork and chicken!
I love spring. Everything is bursting with new life and the colors are so vibrant! Hopefully you are enjoying a beautiful spring where you are too!

Spring is my favorite time of the year. All the pretty things come to life after a long winter rest.

I agree. I love spring and watching every thing turn from brown to green. Here in W. Michigan it’s to early to plant yet, but my garden beds are ready and waiting!

I love all the flowers of spring and the sprouts in my garden. My rhubarb survived the winter again in its pot. I had planned to divide it, but didn’t get it done in time. Maybe next year. – Margy
