Spring is creeping towards us. The temperature hasn't changed much. It doesn't get truly cold here: high 30s, low 40s. That has mostly been the forecast since February. But the light has changed. The days are longer and the garden is awakening. Time to go out and see what made it through the winter. The wisteria took a beating but shows a bit of green. The climbing hydrangea has grown fat buds showing green through their brown skins. The bleeding heart (planted in a pot!) looks energetic and ready to grow. I have visions of strong arches of dangling pink and red.
Maybe better to say I have hope...
The cold suits the daffodils. Crisp and sharply yellow, coming up directly through last fall's debris. The small, neat ones first and big ruffled pink, peach and orange later.
