Spring is coming!


For those of you in the Pacific Northwest you may not feel like Spring is coming, but down here it is starting to warm up...and rain...and rain...and sun . . . and rain some more.

I am really looking forward to spring here with the Daffodils and Gladiolus I'm hoping to enjoy on my back porch:

Yes, I am planning on growing these myself although, after walking through Michaels craft store last weekend - past the rows of fake flowers - I am seriously considering an investment in the fake ones, to save me from testing out my not-so-green thumb.
However since I am planning on a small back-porch vegetable garden, maybe I'll suck it up this year. Actually, last year was the first year in a few I didn't grow ANY flowers so. . .
My little vegetable garden will probably look a lot like this. But I am pretty excited about it anyway. We'll probably even throw in a strawberry plant.
Anyway, I am looking forward to that and walking on a few new trails I discovered this week. Trail walking was supposed to happen today, but it was raining in the morning so I scrapped it. By the afternoon I was busy running around trying to find a pantry.
What are YOU looking forward to doing this spring?
