The Thing For Spring

Jacob prepares for Spring planting
Just around the corner is the splendor of new blossoms. Cherry blossoms, grape hyacinth and crocuses will be popping up everywhere to mark the beginnings of yet another gardening season. Most of us who love our flower gardens look forward to each day when something new unfolds and reaches it's peak. The tulip that was closed yesterday is all of the sudden completely open and the sweet pea plant that was a tiny mound, all of the sudden is 3 feet tall. For some reason no one minds the Portland rain so much these couple of months as there is knowledge that winter has passed and there is a new anticipation for this thing we call Spring.
