Signs of Spring

Every year that I've lived in Boulder, I've been amazed by Spring. After 12+ years of living in Northern California, I had forgotten what a miraculous occasion Spring is. Long, dark months of staying indoors give way to lighter days and tiny green things poking out of the soil, amidst a sea of dead looking plants that couldn't possibly ever grow back - right?

White Flower Farms (in New England) offers a 100 bulb package each summer (that they ship to you in the Fall) and Harlan and I planted 100 bulbs last October - it's so exciting to see them come up!

Weather is calling for snow and rain tonight, but I love seeing my valiant daffodils (in all colors and sizes) lifting their heads up to shine some radiant yellow light on the still brown and gray landscape...
