"To dig one's own spade into one's own earth! Has life anything better to offer than this?"
- Beverley Nichols -
I�m chomping at the bit as I anticipate the arrival of spring. I can�t wait to get back outside and embrace my glorious garden. I can�t wait for my backyard to explode with colour when beautiful flowers start popping up all over the place. And I can�t wait till all the critters that migrate south or hibernate during the cold months return to liven things up. I�ve missed the butterflies and the robins and the bees and the hummingbirds and the dragonflies and, most of all, Mr. Inski! Actually, it�s Inskis, since more than one chipmunk visited. I hope a whole bunch of them return this spring. One chipmunk that dropped by regularly last summer was super friendly; he took peanuts right from my hand. He seemed very comfortable around people, which I really enjoyed, but it also worried me because I was afraid that someone cruel might hurt him. But let�s not go there right now because I want this to be a happy post.
And let�s make it a very happy post with some lovely purple blooms from last year�s gardening season. I�ve probably posted purple flowers before, but it�s one of my favourite colours in the garden, so I can�t help doing it all over again.
We�re almost halfway through February, and the days are getting longer. It�s just a matter of time. Tick, tock, tick, tock...
