IF WINTER WON'T LEAVE, CREATE SPRING INSIDE!!!

Well, here we are just days before Easter and we are finally expecting to get up to 72 today after it having been near freezing just a week or so ago!

Yesterday when my son returned from picking up a few things for me at Home Depot, he walked in with this pot of Hyacinth and proclaimed, "WELCOME SPRING!"

These will grace my kitchen for a week or so while we work between expected storms to get our yard cleaned up and get ready to do some planting!

This is such a pretty color Hyacinth! They are so very special since the following poem has been special between my son and me. He loves plants! This comes from his early years of digging in the dirt with his grandparents who had large gardens and beautiful flowers!

"If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft
And of thy simple store two loaves of bread alone are left
Sell one, and with the dole,
Buy hyacinths to feed the soul."

PLANT SOMETHING AND FEED YOUR SOUL!!!
BE SURE TO POST PICTURES!!

(My Caladium bulb order should be arriving any day from Florida Boys Caladiums where I buy in bulk!)
Tis the season to visit the GARDEN CENTER! As I have grown older, I have had to keep to keep it simple.

      It is not snowing here in Atlanta, but last week we went from mid 70s down to near freezing!


      At 4:30 AM it is 50 and high expected today is 66...expecting 77 by Friday...rain all weekend with high of 55 on Monday! This yoyo weather is keeping all of us with runny noses! LOL


      By the time the summer sun arrives and we are sweltering, we will be wishing for a few of these cool days!
