It’s amazing what a week or so of 70-degree weather will do. Blooms, for example. Our forsythia patch is turning into a golden vista. Yellow jonquils are showing off all around the yard. Lovely purple hyacinths have popped up and the little crocuses are erupting in beauty.
The ever-faithful Lenten Roses are in full bloom – they start before all the others.
Perhaps the happiest of all my yard denizens are the wild onions. It’s another bumper crop. My yard looks like an onion farm.
All the color and blooming outside has even stimulated our Christmas Cactus. The spindly indoor plant has erupted with both pink and white blooms, but I hope it saves a few for next Christmas.
My early garden seeds and bulbs are now in the ground, and they, too, will soon be emerging.
Yes, spring is here, and it is certainly welcome.
