Counting the Days

Best wishes to you for a weekend filled with the promise of Spring ... In case you're wondering, these aren't recent pictures. Spring hasn't made an appearance in Vicksburg yet, but it will be here soon — and I'm counting the days.

Waiting for Spring

There are 28 more days until Spring's official arrival, and I can't wait until our yard is GREEN again ...

I hope to get outside some next week, weather permitting, and do some "spring cleaning" -- raking, pruning, "fluffing" the pine straw in the flowerbeds, and thinking about what kind of flowers I want to plant.

I've noticed that our Lady Banks roses on the back fence have new leaves coming out, and little sprouts of green Amaryllis leaves are poking through the pine straw. Spring is definitely "in the air," and I want to be ready for it when it arrives.
